Nicholas Koch on February 21st, 2023:
Parish documents, newspaper articles, and physical evidence inside the organ all show a date of 1919. The scribble on the nameplate is incorrect.
Nicholas Koch on October 2nd, 2022:
The "Souvenir of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Dedication of Holy Trinity Church Dayton, Ohio," notes that a general overhaul of the organ began in 1955 and was completed in 1958 for a total cost of $7,000. No tonal changes appear to have been made during this time. It is uncertain what exactly was done during this "general overhaul." The action may have been releathered, however many valve pads still have their original 1917 leather, which is now completely disintegrating. Evidence does suggest that the console was rebuilt.
Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:
Rebuilt to 4m, 36rk, 46 st. in 1984-1993 by Julian Bulley (Toledo Pipe Organ). Some 19th century pipework. MIDI added 1993. Stoplist in file.
