Homestead and Workshop for Producing Musical Instruments,Câmpulung Moldovenesc, Suceava County

This homestead was brought from Câmpulung Moldovenesc and is specific to pastoral Bucovina according to the inventory inside the workshop and the products manufactured therein: horns and alpine horns. This was a renowned production center for musical instruments. Originating from alpine zones with big coniferous forests, the house has a tower, veranda and pastoral-related outbuildings, made of massive fir beams placed in horizontal crowns and joined at the ends in a swallowtail joint.The house dates to mid-19th century and has an evolved layout on the upper floor containing the living quarters with three rooms (hall, room and kitchen) and a basement on the first floor with access from the yard. In the front and on the right side there is an open verandah with ornamental poles that sustain the long edge of the roof interrupted by the asymmetric tower on the left side of the facade.The fire installations and the furniture (benches placed in the sunny corner of the room) are valuable ethnographic elements presenting the traditional interior design.The barn and the stables reveal the importance of raising animals through their dimensions, technique and construction materials.The outbuilding has three compartments: in the middle is the open barn (to shelter the farming tools), to the right is the cattle stable and to the left there is the pantry with a small veranda in front of the entrance. The upper floor space serves as a hayloft. In the middle of the high three-sloped roof (imitating the Austrian Baroque model introduced to Bucovina in mid 19th century), covered with fir „şiţă”, there is an opening to put in the hay from the yard. The well has an octagonal shape and a wheel, with fir beams joined in a swallowtail joint and a conic roof covered with „şiţă”.
