Really, really BIG pipe organs...

Notice how almost all of them are in Europe, except the really huge ones 
which are all in America. (Do you think they're trying to compensate for 
something?) Notice also that *none* of them are in the UK.

The Wannamaker Organ is the largest _working_ organ in the world, with 
something like 23,000 pipes. The best the UK can offer is the Liverpool 
Cathedral and the Royal Albert Hall, both featuring pipe organs of 
almost exactly 10,000 pipes.

All I can say is, it's beats the hell out of the little 2-manual organ 
at the local village church. :-P
