Because it is the largest of all the instruments - by far. Even small village church pipe organs can occupy a floor area of 60+ square feet and have a height of 12 feet or more. Large cathedral instruments are much much bigger often occupying chambers as large as several large rooms. Even a small village church organ can contain 500+ pipes (most are inside and not on view) whereas cathedral organs can contain several thousands of pipes ranging from 32 feet in length down to around 3/4/ inch or less. The largest instrument - the King of Kings as it were, is in the Atlantic City Auditorium, USA. Played from a console containing 7 keyboards (manuals) stacked on top of each other, plus a pedal board (and also another moveable console with 5 keyboards and a pedal board), this mammoth machine has over 33,000 pipes, over 1,400 stops (to control sets of pipes) and has pipes ranging from tiny ones 1/2 inch or less creating a shrill whistle almost outside the human range of hearing, to a huge pedal pipe over 64 feet in length, producing such a low note that it is more of a stomach-wrenching rumble. This instrument also produces the loudest sound of any instrument - a reed pipe that has an ear-splitting Trumpet tone that is six times louder than the loudest train whistles. Truly a King amongst instruments.

2nd Answer

Although violin and piano are both praised, the queen/king of instrument is considered to be organ (by W. A. Mozart himself) for 2 reasons:

  1. Widest tonal range (7 and half octaves)
  2. Can imitate various instruments
  3. The largest instrument of all
  4. Can play orchestral parts with such a strong sound
