Romania issued this stamp in 2016. It was the third in a set commemorating Romanian "curiosities and superlatives." The instrument was built by Carol Buchholz in 1869 for the Black Church in Brasov, Romania. Renovations were done in 1966 including some stop changes, but these were un-done in 2003. I was able to find a stoplist within a database maintained by the Lutheran Church in Romania. The other two links below give some narrative history of the church and organ. I blogged about Daniel Croner and his relationship with this organ here. Since writing that post I have secured a handful of small-scale pieces by him.
