32 Levels of memory, Transposer, MIDI capable. From the Open House brochure: "The instrument at the First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Watsontown, PA, originated as the Hook and Hastings, Opus 2020, 1904. This Hook and Hastings instrument contained 14 speaking stops and employed tubular pneumatic action. The instrument underwent one rebuild in the 1940's when the Moller Organ Company electrified the tubular action, removed the casework and installed a new console. The [vocal] choir and console were placed downstairs and the existing instrument was tonally altered and a new enclosure was built around the pipework. The result was less than satisfactory, both tonally and mechanically, due to an unresponsive action and an enclosure that drastically hindered tonal egress. To correct these shortcomings, we designed a new case incorporating a cantilevered design concept allowing us to relocate the [vocal] choir, piano and organ console to the original musician's gallery. The casework is of quartered red oak with mahogany accents. Mechanically, we retained the Hook slider chests and modified them for electric control. A new solid state control system now operates both switching functions and combination action. Winding was reconfigured retaining existing regulators and incorporating a new blower. Tonally, most of the Hook and Hasting pipework was retained, repaired and extensively revoiced. New Principal and Reed pipework was added to complete those choruses. "
