Planning for the New Organ

the old organ

 

Holy Trinity's Organ Committee has spent the last year researching replacements for our current organ. After visiting a number of churches and listening to a variety of organs, a letter of intent was signed in the early spring of 2008 with Garland Pipe Organs of Ft. Worth. You can see other Garland organs by clicking on the links for the following churches: St. Stephen Presbyterian Church in Ft. Worth, University Presbyterian Church in Austin, and Brentwood Trail Presbyterian in North Dallas. The project will include a remodel of the existing choir loft as well as the installation of the specially designed new organ. Fundraising will start this fall. If you're interested in contributing or helping with the fundraising effort, please contact the music director, Jay Terpstra.

Here are the specifications of the proposed organ:
