This extremely well built mechanical action instrument was in need of restoration after 90 years of continuous service to Trinity Lutheran Church.  It was also decided that some judicious tonal revisions were in order so that the instrument would continue to meet the expanding musical needs of the congregation into the future.  Original pipework that was not used during the project was carefully packed and stored on top of the swell box so that organ could be returned to its original configuration if the congregation ever wished to do so.

Sometime during the 1940's the lovely stenciling on the case pipes had been painted over with gold radiator paint.  When this was discovered, the congregation voted to have Columbia Organ Works re-create the original stencil patterns and colors.  This was done in house by our own artisans.  The work was completed in 1988, and we continue to maintain this wonderful musical instrument.

The instrument retains its original tonal character with tonal changes being made in the character of Felgemaker Pipe Organs of the early 1880's.
