It depends on the organ. Each one is different. The largest are more than 64' long, but there are only two organs in existence with pipes that large. Each set of pipes, or ranks, has a theoretical number assigned to it to indicate the length of the lowest pipe of that rank. These numbers correspond only to the length of open pipes. Stopped pipes (closed at the top) sound approximately one octave lower than open pipes of the same length. Generally, the longest pipe in the average church organ is low C of the 16' Bourdon - which actually measures slightly more than 8'. Larger organs will sometimes have open ranks of that pitch, the lowest measuring around 17' to 18' - the extra foot or two being taken up by the lower portion - the "foot" and / or "false length" at the top on pipes that are "slot tuned" or facade pipes that need extra length for aesthetic purposes.
