Jim Stettner on April 10, 2023:

From the parish website (Trinity's History / The Organ): "In February 2012, the church decided to move forward in purchasing a new organ. The Moller Organ was in dire need of repairs. During this time, the church learned of an organ that was for sale in Michigan, which was built by Gabriel Kney. Trinity enlisted organ maker Christopher Holtkamp to dismantle and rebuild the organ. The new organ was installed in November 2015 and dedicated May 15, 2016, in memory of John V. Thompson, who was instrumental in getting an organ fund established before his death."

Jim Stettner on April 10, 2023:

This entry represents the installation of an existing organ for a new owner in a new location. Some tonal modifications were made to the Kney by Holtkamp, and a repurposed Holtkamp console replaced the Kney console.
