2006-09-27 - Undergoing renovation by Carroll Hanson in 2006. New solid state combination action. The playing action will be put on a multiplex and the console on a moveable platform. Preparations made for an antiphonal organ. -Database Manager
2010-03-21 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- The factory specs indicate a prepared-for Antiphonal with old pipework. The announcement in the February 1969 issue of <i>The Diapason</i> says "an Antiphonal division will also be provided using a Möller chest from the old organ fitted with the best of the old Möller and Kilgen pipework; the Antiphonal division will play from the Great and Swell manuals." -Database Manager
2010-03-22 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- Trinity Presbyterian is the result of a 1953 merger between First Presbyterian and Kingshighway Presbyterian in 1953, using the First Presbyterian property. The Möller organ alluded to in the <i>Diapason</i> article would be Opus 5206, from the 1920s. -Database Manager
2021-06-01 - Regarding the Antiphonal, the church website says: An antiphonal organ, built by Leonard G. Berghaus of Chicago, was built at the same time, but fire damage in 1979 has left it inoperable. Regarding the console, it says: A major electrical storm hit the church in 2018, and the damage, slowly creeping through circuits, now requires a thorough replacement of the console’s electronics. Attempts to patch the damage kept the organ going temporarily, but in mid-late 2019, it became too sporadic to be relied upon for services, and has been silent since. -Jeff Scofield
