  Abstract:   The present article has the purpose to present the development of the organ building, parallel with the musical progress in Transylvania and in the Europe between 13th -17th centuries. The first entry about organists is made in 13th century; the record is founded in the archive of the catholic archbishopric in Alba Iulia / Gyulafehérvár. We know also a record from 1429 about the existence of an organ instrument in the “Marien church” (today evangelical church) in Sibiu / Hermannstadt. During this length of time many Transylvanian musicians enraptured with delight towards art spending a while in various sovereigns of Europe. For example: Valentin Bakfark (1507-1576) the famous lutanist; or Daniel Croner (1656-1740) the organist and composer. In fact, the first organ-textbook of the world -“Il Transilvano” by Girolamo Diruta (1561-1610) lis on Transylvanian background.
     However, many untouched materials about significant characters -which rather are important for the Transylvanian Music History as for the international scene- is waiting for discovering in the archives of churches and communities to the curiosity of scholars.
