How many pipes per rank in a pipe organ IOW an organ with 14000 pipes would have how many ranks?
IOW? A rank can have anything from 49 to 97 pipes depending on whether it is a straight or unit rank. There are even some short ranks that have fewer than 49 pipes. Ranks in the pedal divisions will have 32 pipes in a straight organ and that number plus multiples of 12 in a unit organ. As for the 14,000 pipe organ, a rough idea will be that number divided by 61. It's probably around 250 ranks when you take into account pedal ranks.
