  Abstract:  In the history of Hungarian organ building, there were not many organ builders who earned such acknowledgement and reputation as the well known Josef Angster. Born to a family of simple peasants, Josef Angster knew already since he was a child that he was meant to become something more than his forefathers. In his diary, which he kept almost until his death, one can find a truly remarkable story about his adventurous life, which began in the small village of Kácsfalu in Hungary. In the following work I tried to depict the most important moments in the life of Josef Angster and the history of the organ factory he had built in Pécs, including technical details about the organs that he and his sons manufactured during a time span of almost a century.

Keywords: organ building, Josef Angster.
