COMPLETE THE ORGAN RESTORATION The Organ of Historic Trinity, designed and built by the Ernest Skinner Company, is a rare gem in a magnificent setting. Ernest Skinner was regarded as the premier organ builder of his day and, indeed, the most prominent American builder of his time. Skinner’s organs were characterized by excellent craftsmanship, great warmth of tone and a lush romantic sound. Historic Trinity’s organ is Skinner’s opus 808 of 3-manuals, 27-voices, 31 ranks, 5 divisions, with added chimes. The main organ is housed in the front bell tower, with the Echo Division in the smaller Luther Tower to the west of the chancel. It is a medium-sized organ, appropriately scaled to the size of the room. The instrument is very rare because so few Skinner organs have survived in their original state. This instrument is one of the most admired of all pipe organs - an original, unaltered E. M. Skinner organ. Few of these remain anywhere in this country, and an organ of this size and era are extremely rare. We started in the early 1980s restoring this fine instruments. It was been done in stage, all pipes were removed, cleaned, and repaired. The counsel its self was taken apart cleaned and repaired. Now its time to complete this process with the releathering of the choir division keys. The cost is approximately $19,500. We have an individual who will match your gift dollar for dollar up to $8,000.00. You donate $10 and it is matched with $10.
