Database Manager on May 29th, 2015:

Updated through online information from Michael Messina. -- In 2011 Goulding & Wood built a new console for Trinity Church-s Schantz organ as an initial phase in securing the instrument-s place as the parish-s main musical resource for the next generation. The entire organ was rewired during the season of Lent, and the new console was installed for use on Palm Sunday 2011. The hand-crafted oak cabinetry was designed and painted to match other chancel appointments. The console is moveable and low in profile, promoting sightlines with the choir, conductor, and other liturgical activity. Draw knobs controlling the stops of the organ are hand-turned solid ebony with engraved inserts. The terraces holding the stop controls are of ribbon walnut, as are the keyboard cheeks and the decorative music desk. Manual keys use cow bone for the naturals and ebony for the sharps, while the pedal keys are of maple and ebony. Within this traditional frame is a state of the art control system with a digital processor and solid-state relays. This provides for expanded control of the musical resources of the organ as well as the ability to transpose, record, and play back music. Registration presets are available on 128 separate levels, offering organists a large library of tonal combinations at the press of a button. Controls are provided for future expansion and revitalization of the organ-s pipework, which will occur in the next phase of renovation.

Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- The main organ is located in chambers to the left of the chancel with 12 facade pipes recessed back inside the two chamber openings. The Tower Organ is housed in two cases in the rear of the nave to each side of the large west window.
