Summary/Abstract: The organ has adorned Western Christian worship for over a millennium, though this was not always the case. It took centuries for it to become an instrument officially recognized by the Church. Today, some organs have even reached monumental proportions.2 The history of these instruments – especially from the 17th and 18th centuries – remains largely unknown in the Archdiocese of Gyulafehérvár (Alba Iulia).3 This study presents the organs of the archdiocese, focusing on those from three districts, based on archival sources and physical research methods.
