"There used to be a tradition - up to the 19th century - that when the
organ was approved the organbuilder would receive as much wine as the
largest pipe in the organ would hold. In the case of a large organ with
a Principal 32' rank in the pedal this would amount to some 330 gallons
(1,250 liters). Too bad that this tradition has been discontinued ;-)"
I'll say...! o_O

Mr Barry Norris has a 5-manual, 161-stop organ IN HIS HOUSE. It contains
11,200 pipes, including some 32' pipes in the basement. (!!)
...oh, I see. He lives in Alabama. Nuff said.

Yes, yes it is.
Mercifully, they're not actually connected to anything.
