The organ in the Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Trofaiach was built in 1595 by Hanns Kahnchuber. In 1829 it was converted by Mathias Krainz from Graz and placed in a new organ case. Christian Gruber from Leoben cleaned the instrument in 1872. It was restored around 1970 by the company Christian Krenn from Graz. The manual keyboard has been renewed and a "Schwimmer bellows" has been installed instead of the original chip bellows.
