Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- In"A Tale of Two Organs: Henry Erben and Apalachicola, Florida," 2000, Robert C. Delvin states that an Erben organ was in place by 1840, but that for unknown reasons, this organ was replaced by another Henry Erben organ in 1859, which is present in the church today, and has been restored.

Database Manager on April 12th, 2012:

Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- This organ replaced an earlier Henry Erben organ of 1840, of which the fate is unknown.

Database Manager on October 6th, 2007:

Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- This is the second Erben organ used at Trinity church, and the oldest pipe organ in Florida in its original site and still in use. The organ is on the left side of the chancel with a 1922 Picher on the opposite side. The building was constructed in 1837 in New York, cut in sections and shipped to Florida where it was reassembled. The church's website has a history of the building and its instruments. Organ is in regular use for services (2007)

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:
