The five half-round towers house the Great and Pedal 8’ Montres of polished tin. The pipe shades are random lengths of folded copper, some polished, others tinned, flamed or scored to reflect and scatter the light. The Zimbelstern's rotating star pierces the center pipe, low C of the 8’ Montre. The case wood is solid bleached ash with honey colored natural red oak trim.
The console is built of solid mahogany with a matched mahogany burl veneer inlaid in the music rack. The engraved drawknobs are rosewood, while the naturals are antique mastodon ivory with ebony sharps. The Positive division is enclosed just above the console with arched doors which open and close by means of an expression Pedal. Key action is mechanical. Stop action is electric to allow for a Solid State Logic combination action with 32 levels of memory. Manual coupler action is also electric, activated by pull-down magnets that operate a duplicate set of pallets on the Swell and Positive divisions allowing for a continued light and responsive action even with the couplers engaged. Pedal couplers are mechanical.
The tonal design of the organ was worked out between Robert Burns King, and Andover's Robert J. Reich, Tonal Director. -Paul R. Marchesano
