A seven-stop practice organ, Opus 159 will, along with Opus 158, be delivered to the new Jockey Club Campus of Creativity (JC3) at Hong Kong Baptist University in early 2024. A large, asymmetrical practice room space has been designed specifically to house the organ. Appropriate acoustical trappings are specified.

Opus 159 is a three-manual instrument, with Manual I serving as a coupling manual. Any stop drawn on Manual II and/or Manual III will appear automatically on Manual I, offering the player impressive registrational flexibility on an organ of this size.

The stoplist comprises two full-length 8′ registers (Principal, Harmonic Flute), an 8′ Chimney Flute, a 4′ Spire Flute (alternating between Manual II and Manual III), and a Pedal Bourdon 16’/8′ unit.
