Our organ

The organ choir of the monastic church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Sampor is occupied by a pipe organ, Opus 7 of the Organ workshops Žilina of the Muška brothers. It is a two-manual organ with pedal, mechanical key action and electrical stop action. In terms of sound it is inspired by the ideal of the French romantic symphonic organ. The specification and the voicing of the organ provides a wide dynamic palette, which corresponds with the character of the monastic church, a place of regular individual and conventual prayer. The organ in Sampor serves as a accompanimental instrument for liturgical celebrations, but thanks to its possibilities it also an excellent recital instrument, capable of interpreting a wide spectrum of organ literature.
