Vero Beach's Trinity Episcopal Church members giving thanks for new organ


From Florida-

When the congregation of the Trinity Episcopal Church in Vero Beach hears sweet sounds coming from its organ at Thanksgiving services, it will have the Community Church of Vero Beach to thank.

The 1896 vintage pipe organ, built by Clarence E. Morey of Morey & Barnes of Utica, N.Y., was purchased from the Community Church for Trinity's David Lord Chapel. Neither church would disclose the sale price, but the appraised value of the organ is about $100,000.

The organ was disassembled Thursday to prepare for moving and will be reassembled on Saturday by church volunteers under the supervision of Trinity's organist and choirmaster Jason Hobratschk.

"The organ suits our chapel aesthetically," said Hobratschk. "We're so excited that we get to preserve a piece of history and keep it right here in town."
