    The largest musical instrument in the world is an organ, but not an ordinary one. The Great Stalacpipe Organ, found in Luray Caverns of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley holds the record, using 3.5 acres of an underground cavern’s stalactites to produce sound. Not exactly the answer to your question, just thought you’d find it interesting.

    I would guess maybe the Cello, bass fiddle, or tuba? Possibly the kettle drum? undrtakr1977

    Standard instruments (not special to be the largest) String Bass, Harp and Bass Drum
    I have seen bass drums used that are 8 feet tall. Kab
