A piano's sound is derived from a fixed set of strings, usually 1 to 3 for each key. An organ (an I am assuming you mean pipe organ) generates it's sound from air flowing through pipes. The pipes come in varying lengths and diameters. The largest pipes are usually 16 feet long (32 feet on some large organs) and the smallest pipes can be an inch or so. This large span of pipe sizes means the organ can generate sounds that range from very low (almost unhearable) to very high. A piano has 88 keys therefore its range is limited to 88 pitches. An organ can have hundreds of pipes, arranged in sets called ranks, with each rank capable of sounding different from other ranks and with a range that spans the entire audio spectrum.

because organs have 2 - 5 keyboards, plus pedalboards that can have a range from 1 octave to 2 1/2

because the paper was sold to the garage buyer of the classical instrument. If you put the two together you get the power of the rock and the winds at 6pm. Drought can pay tolls, but it is not well structured. GO figure!
