Notes

2011-03-27 - Identified through on-line information from Michael S. Monaghan. -- The console control system was converted to solid state in the late 80s by Crossan & Savage of Cedars, PA. I believe it was 1993 that the congregation sold the Norristown property and moved a few miles north to the suburb of Fairview Village. They moved the organ with them. A chamber was created out of attic space at the rear of the sanctuary. The console was placed up front in a well in the chancel. Since my arrival last year, we've freed it from those unfriendly confines and repaired the floor to accomodate a rapidly growing choir. <br>Steven Sykes (now president of Crossan & Savage) supervised the installation, assisted by parish members with trades skills. The Gallery organ (roughly a third of the original pipework) was carefully laid into trays and stored onsite in a secure location. The Chancel organ is intact, safe, and well maintained. The installation is less than ideal, but it serves the purpose for now. <br>Due to Trinity's steady growth at the Fairview site, we've entered into a capital campaign aimed at the construction of a new liturgical space on our property, with groundbreaking anticipated within two years. Opus 7700 will be architecturally (and musically) integrated into the new space. -Database Manager
