| Photo: The restored Skinner organ at Lake Erie College (Painesville, OH) is very similar to the Skinner organ for Trinity proposed in the "From Mothballs to Music" project. |
Trinity's Vestry took a significant step toward making the restoration and installation of Trinity's Aeolian-Skinner organ, now in storage, a reality. Vestry approved an agreement with the Muller Pipe Organ Company to complete organ installation design plans at its October meeting.
Muller Organ will develop the precise plans and specifications needed to place the organ's various components on the east and west sides of the Cathedral's Chancel. The design will detail the preparatory work required prior to installation of the instrument and enable Trinity to determine the cost of these preparations accurately, in addition to the direct costs of the restoration.
Trinity's restored organ will consist of approximately 3,000 pipes arrayed over 60 ranks.
You can read more about the organ restoration project
HERE
. Questions about this project can be directed to Bryan Sickbert, Chair of the Vestry Arts Committee at

(216-513-7953) or Todd Wilson, Director of Music.
