The first services in the original Trinity Church took place on March 13, 1698. There was no organ until the building was enlarged in 1737, after which John Klemm of Philadelphia built a three-manual instrument of 26 stops for the gallery in 1740. A stoplist for the Klemm organ has not been located. This instrument was replaced in 1764 or 1765 by a 25-stop organ built by John Snetzler of London; both the organ and church were destroyed by fire in 1776. A second church was built in 1787 and contained a three-manual organ of 19 stops by Henry Holland of London. By 1839, the building showed signs of structural weakness and was razed. The Holland organ was moved to the German Reformed Church on Norfolk Street in New York City. The present edifice was designed by Richard Upjohn in Perpendicular Gothic Style; Upjohn also designed the organ case and stained glass (which was fabricated on-site). Although the church was dedicated on Ascension Day in 1846, the Henry Erben organ was not completed until several months later; it was given a public hearing to crowds numbering in the thousands. The Erben organ was enlarged and changed several times in 1867, 1889, and 1907. A chancel organ was built by Hall and Labagh in 1864 to accompany the choir. In 1923, Ernest M. Skinner of Boston built an entirely new organ (Opus 408) of 64 stops, which had Nave and Chancel divisions, and was controlled by a large four-manual console in the chancel. The chancel divisions and console were installed first, and were dedicated in 1923. The nave (west gallery) divisions were installed following removal of the Erben, and the whole organ was dedicated in March, 1924. Skinner's Nave Organ retained several Erben stops — the 32' Open Wood, the Great Mixture III and the Swell Mixture V — and was installed behind the historic Erben case; the Chancel Organ was installed in a chamber behind the Labagh case on the south side of the choir. In 1928, after a trip to England, Skinner replaced several stops. In 1958, the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company of Boston built a new console and made major tonal revisions, replacing 75% of the pipework and adding a Chancel Brustwerk division, but retaining most of the mechanisms and chests. When a free-standing altar was planned, removing the choir to the gallery, Aeolian-Skinner was contracted in 1968 to replace all mechanisms and structures not new in 1961, and to provide new ranks and a duplicate console for the gallery; they also repositioned divisions for optimum sound projection. Casavant Frerès of Canada was subcontracted by Aeolian-Skinner to provide the chassis and some chests for the new organ. The Erben 16' Open Wood (Diapason) was retained in the Pedal (the 32' octave was removed during the 1958 rebuild), and is now playable from the Gallery Great and Pedal divisions. A few original Skinner ranks were used in the new organ, while some of the Skinner Solo stops were given to Calvary Episcopal Church. Alec Wyton dedicated the new organ in 1970. At a later date, the chancel console was made moveable. On September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center towers were destroyed. Trinity Church, located about 600 feet away, was showered with debris, as were nearby St. Paul's Chapel and the church's office building. The buildings were subsequently cleaned, but the organs were deemed unusable. In 2003, the Aeolian-Skinner organs in Trinity Church were removed to storage. As a temporary longterm solution, Marshall Ogletree Associates, Inc., of Needham, MA, installed their all-digital Epiphany Organ, Opus 1, in 2003. Two consoles were provided: the gallery console was built by Klann Organ Supply of Waynesboro, Va. ; the chancel console was built by Fratelli Ruffatti Organs of Padua, Italy.       Chancel Console by Ruffatti Marshall Ogletree Associates, Inc.
