A church back in CT upgraded their small 1950's Austin to a Galante, using the existing ranks, and a number of new sampled [electronic] ranks. It really sounds great -- unlike those awful Rogers organs of the past that Virgil Fox used to tote around. Anyway, John Rose at the Trinity College Chapel in Hartford CT was their spokesman/ salesman at the time (4 years ago). The console has a MIDI input, disk drive, all the bells and whistles in it. They'd certainly be a source of info. You'll have to call Trinity Chapel and inquire the address/phone number of Galante, or you can contact the church's organist, Bill Kanute at First Church of Christ, 51 Main St. Unionville, Ct 06085 ... he'd know too.
