The pipe instrument used at services in Catholic and Protestant churches, often in a gallery above the entrance.
Bisericile ortodoxe nu folosesc instrumente muzicale la slujbe, ci doar vocea. În schimb, orga este centrală în tradiția apuseană. Orga Buchholz din Biserica Neagră din Brașov (1839), cu aproape 4.000 de tuburi, este una dintre cele mai mari din Europa de Sud-Est.
