  Abstract:  István Kolonics, born in Szabadka (Subotica), moved to Kézdivásárhely (Târgu Secuiesc) in 1855. He eventually became one of the most famous and most assiduous organ builders of the nineteenth century in Transylvania. He built about two hundred new instruments and repaired several. He also instructed numerous assistants. For many years this guaranteed the organs in Hungarian Catholic and Protestant churches to be in working order. This article presents some unknown sources concerning his origin and work in Szabadka in the first 30 years of his life.

Keywords: Kolonics, Hungarian, organ builder, nineteen’s century, Szabadka, Transylvania
