Database Manager on December 10th, 2014:
Updated through online information from John McCraney. -- Another submission states that the Echo was retained in the 1956 Möller. This is correct except for one physical stop change; The 8' Vox Humana was replaced by a 4' Geigen [Octave].

Database Manager on December 8th, 2014:
Updated through online information from John McCraney. -- Contrary to what an earlier description says, there were no facade pipes. According to a church pamphlet on the history of Trinity's organs, the Jardine before the Pilcher was behind arches opening into the chancel and the south transept with typical 1890s stenciling. A photo of this and other historical photos can be seen on Trinity Cathedral's youtube site as well as another depicting the chamber openings as they appeared with the Pilcher and the 1950s Möller.<br>When the Pilcher was installed, chambers were built over the north and side aisles behind the chancel clerestory openings. The clerestory windows opening from the side into the chancel retained their mullions without glass, and the clerestory windows opening into the chancel were almost tripled in size to provide large openings into the chancel. This was retained with the 1950s Möller. The Echo division was at the west head of the south aisle in a tower chamber.
