How would YOU ... yes you ... like
to PLAY our Mighty WurliTzer?

Open Console is the opportunity to play a real Mighty WurliTzer Theatre Pipe organ like the one at our Trinity facilities.

When you RSVP for a time, you will be able to play for one (1) hour uninterrupted - without an audience. However, if you need any assistance, there is someone there who will be able to explain the organ and assist you as needed.

If there are members of other chapters who will be visiting our area and would like to participate in our Open Console, please contact us ahead of time and we can schedule a time slot for you in our calendar.
