The renaissance of the world's largest pipe organ
The renaissance of the world's largest pipe organ

In Atlantic City, the largest organ in the world is coming back to life.

The pipe organ in the New Jersey city's Boardwalk Hall was constructed in the 1920s, during the seaside resort area's golden age.

But the instrument suffered the wrath of a hurricane in 1944, and wear and tear after years of quasi-abandonment for a while left it unusable.

Now, through private donations and careful restoration, it is coming back to ear-pleasing functionality.
