The Austin Organ of Trinity UMC

The 39-rank Austin organ, originally built by the Austin Organ Company in 1912 and refurbished in 1995, provides a distinctive and reverberant sound, permitting the performance of a wide repertoire of organ works as well as strong support for congregational and choral song. 

The organ originally had four divisions: Swell, Orchestral, Great, and Echo. The last division was not included in the 1995 renovation by A. E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Sales and Service of Lithonia, GA. Five of its thirty-nine ranks of pipes came from the old Whitehall St. church. Its construction uses the universal wind-chest method and is electro-pneumatic. The current three-manual console in the sanctuary, which dates from 1916, was rebuilt as part of the 1995 renovation to accommodate a solid-state memory system; a second, three-manual console is located in the assembly hall behind the sanctuary.
