2022-05-25 - In 1 902-3, Hutchings-Votey built a new electropneumatic organ (Op. 1492) for the Chancel. The gallery organ was fitted with electropneumatic primaries so it could be controlled from the Chancel console. Hutchings made minor tonal changes to the Roosevelt at that time. The Great Gamba, Swell Viole d'Orchestre and Voix Celeste all bear the Hutchings opus number for Trinity Church. -- *2005 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
