12:30 - Visit to the organ restoration workshop in Harman

Since 2003, in Harman, Brasov County, a basic educational program for organ builders and restorers has been developed, in order to revive a traditional job in Transylvania. The aim is to make possible the restoration of the 1,500 organs in the country, but also the construction of new organs. The cost of an organ starts from 30,000 euros and can reach over 150,000 euros, depending on the size of the instrument and the materials used in the decorations. Apart from the fact that the work is painstaking, it also requires very good quality materials, just like the ones used 800 years ago
