The website historicplaces.ca states, "Trinity United Church has been renovated a number of times with a Karn Morris organ being installed in 1909."
From The Guardian (September 24, 1910) as quoted in Porter, The Architecture of Methodism in Charlottetown (2018): "The new organ for the First Methodist Church is being installed by H. A. Karn, of Woodstock, Ont., and W. R. Shute, of Halifax. The old organ has been removed and shipped to Souris, where it has been purchased for the Catholic Church. Music in the church Sunday was furnished by an orchestra. The new organ was manufactured by the Karn-Morris Organ Co., of Woodstock, Ont. It is the largest on the Island and one of the largest in the Maritime Provinces. It will cost when completed, $7,000. It will stand 32 ft. 3 inches high and will be 33 ft. wide, occupying a large part of the space in the east end of the gallery. It has 2600 pipes and three manual key boards. Its tonal scheme admits great power and variety. The material used in its construction weighs about 21 tons; all except three and one half tons have now arrived and it will take about three weeks to assemble the parts. There are over thirty stops and it is twice the size of the old organ. The bellows are operated by a water motor in the basement. An interesting feature is a set of chimes of twenty notes. The opening recital will be given by Prof Wheeldon, of the Metropolitan Methodist Church, Toronto, successor to Dr. Torrington, one of the most skilled organists in Canada today."
