2022-02-02 - The case, 101/2' deep, 25' wide, and 32' tall, was of chestnut and black walnut. *Dwight's Journal of Music*, Vol. 26, No. 15, for 13 October 1866, quoted from the *New Haven Palladium* of 8 September of that year, which held forth at length on the virtues of the Trinity organ, especially praising the reeds: "Several professional organists, well acquainted with the great organs both here and in Europe, who were present at the opening, unanimously agreed that the reed pipes could not be surpassed in beauty and purity of tone." The article went on to observe that "The Diapasons extending through the whole organ bind the most distant tones together and fill up the intervals so that the ear is perfectly satisfied with the full harmony. Some of the stops are of such singular and rare beauty that they deserve particular mention ... " The article singled out the Viola da Gamba, Violone, Geigen Principal, Clarionet, Flauto D'Amour ("more exquisitely pure than we are often favored with hearing its original"), and Doppel Flote, as being especially admirable. -- *1994 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
