- The worlds largest and loudest musical instrument ever constructed.
- The electric blowers that power the organ approach 1,000 horsepower, the kind of power needed to fill a hall larger than 15 million cubic feet.
- 33,112 pipes in 455 ranks, including a full-length 64 foot Diaphone Profunda, ten 32 foot ranks, and manual and pedal reeds that are under 100 inches of wind pressure, while most organs never exceed 10 inches of pressure.
- According to the Guinness Book of World Records the Convention Hall organ in Atlantic City (USA) has the loudest organ stop in the World, the Grand Ophicleide 16'. This stop has six times the volume of the loudest train whistle.
- A tour of the entire organ takes 4 1/2 hours.
