Országh organ of Szentbékkála (Hungary)

Országh organ of Szentbekkala
                                                                                History
Szentbékkálla is a village in Káli-basin, Balaton-Highlands, Hungary. It has a population of 230, which is doubled by the number of holiday homes.
The first written record of the village dates back to 1273. The village got its name from the conquering Kál clan and the Benedictine monastery that stood in the Middle Ages.

The parish church of was built in the 1790s in the Baroque style. The 10-register mechanical organ with one manual and pedal was built by Sándor Ország from Budapest in 1869. The characteristic feature of the organ is the accordion register built into the playing table.  The organ was restored in 2008 by Albert Miklós, master organ architect from Győr, and since then it has been used for liturgy and summer concerts.

The following friends helped me to make and publish the sample set (in alphabetical order): Dominique Dantand, Gérard Lefranc, Nagy István and Jean-Pierre Silvestre If something's done well, it's thanks to them. I owe special thanks to Bence Tokodi, who obtained the permission to record the organ, and to Father Péter Czár, the church's parish priest.
