Built by: Ernest M. Skinner (1924) - opus 471
After the construction of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Miami, Ernest Skinner installed a four-manual organ in the church, which was commissioned in 1924 (opus 471). Over time, the organ has been modified and expanded several times. Part of the pipe work comes from a Skinner organ from 1926 (opus 451). Furthermore, expansions were carried out by Aeolian-Skinner in the sixties, by Kinzey-Angerstein in 1974 and by Guzowski & Steppe in 1991. In 2001, the Walker Technical Company expanded the organ with a large number of digital registers. In total there have been 119 registers since then, but the number of actual ranks is much lower.
