Working 5 blocks away from Trinity at the time, and visiting it many times after 09.11.2001, they did indeed have dust and other airborn debris, but the windows were not blown in.
You neglected to point out that what they have now is actually a fake organ, or an organ substitute (sometimes call an appliance or a toaster). Being penny wise and pound foolish, the brilliant committee there has decided that they would prefer to buy a new phony organ every twenty years, rather than a real one they can take care of and keep. Nice fiscal responsibility. (My favorite quote is from a former Rodgers dealer: "Electronic organs are for churches who are not interested in music".)
PLUS...I just heard about a church which spent $250,000 on a Rodgers. If the organ lasts 25 years (fairly old for an electronic, and CERTAINLY most of the way through its life), then they spent $10,000 PER YEAR on it. Is this smart?! Thanks for the reply!

You're right, it is digital and electric, albeit those are the stats I found. That quote is so true by the way!
