29 June 2018Renowned international organ builders Rieger, from Schwarzach in Austria, has built the organ for St Sebastian's Cathedral in Bratislava, Slovakia, using Bird’s eye maple and European maple veneer manufactured by Danzer.
Explains Walter Mooslechner, sales director, Danzer Veneer Europe: “We teamed up with the specialists from Rieger Orgelbau to implement a fascinating project for the organ at St Sebastian¹s Cathedral in Bratislava. We looked at different types of wood together ultimately deciding in favour of the two maple veneers as they harmonise very well with the numerous gold accents found elsewhere in the church.”
