Austin Organs, Inc., is a manufacturer of pipe organs based in Hartford, Connecticut. The company is one of the oldest continuously-operating organ manufacturers in the United States.[1] The first instruments were built in 1893 with the Austin Patent Airchest, and many remain in fine playing condition to this day.

The Austin Organ Company was formally organized in 1898 by John Turnell Austin in Boston, Massachusetts, although it traces its beginning to 1893 with the first instruments Austin built at the Clough & Warren Company in Detroit, Michigan. In 1899 the company moved to Hartford.[2]

Austin was from England and had come to the United States in 1889. Austin's father Jonathan had a hobby of organ building. When son John made his way to Detroit he found work at the Farrand & Votey Organ Company. While servicing organs for Farrand, Austin worked with tracker and slider chests and some of the nascent electric mechanisms.[2] He developed what would be named the "Universal Air Chest System". This is an airtight chamber with the chest action on the ceiling of the chamber. A feature of this system was that the chest could be entered from below while the organ was turned on; this allowed for servicing of the organ keying action. The modern (current) chest design was further developed in 1913, and has been refined over the years. In 1905 the company began building electric consoles; these have also been refined over the years.

The Austin Organ Company reached its peak in the 1920s when it was delivering more than 80 instruments each year. In the Depression years the company struggled with high overhead, decreased new business, and cash flow. By 1935 the company announced that it would close after fulfilling existing contracts, with its last instrument as Opus 1885.[3] The company vacated its factory building, sold some assets and put others into storage.[2]

In February 1937 the nephew of the company founder and a long-term employee purchased what remained of the company and formed "Austin Organs, Inc." They re-established the factory in Hartford although in more modest facilities that were adjacent to their old plant.[2] The first instrument produced by the re-organized company was given Opus 2000.[3] During the Second World War, the company contributed to the war effort by constructing gliders. As of 2020 the company still builds instruments at the same four-story edifice located at 156 Woodland Street.

In March 2005 the company closed when annual revenue fell below $150K per year after a payment dispute regarding an installation. Weeks later a business partnership was formed by the owner of an organ service and repair company and a long-time Austin employee. They purchased the company, restructured its operations, and recalled several company veterans.[4] As of 2019 Austin was building eight new instruments per year.[1] Over 2600 organs have been built with the Austin nameplate.

Lost instruments

Three four-manual consoles could each control both organs. The main console contained an early form of combination pistons and two consoles were movable. There was also a roll player.[61] The hotel was demolished in 1967 and the instrument lost to dispersion.[62]
  • Opus 309 – 1912 Chapel, Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester, New York, 1912. Two manuals, 10 ranks.[63] Disused since the 1970s, the chapel and its organ sustained heavy damage by neglect, vandalism, and exposure.[64]
  • Opus 939 – Cathedral-Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1920. Four manuals, 71 ranks. Austin air chests were replaced with Tellers chests in 1957 in conjunction with a major enlargement and renovation of the cathedral.

  • Opus 1010 – Eastman Theatre, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York, 1922. Four-manual theater organ originally listed at 229 ranks including percussion traps for the accompaniment of silent films.

In 1983, the organ received a new Schantz console and the instrument was rebuilt by the Muller Organ Company.[67] In 2015, the organ became non-functional due to an electrical malfunction with the blower motor that caused the instrument to short-circuit. In September 2017 the church closed after 161 years of service.[68] The building was sold and is now a complex offering worship, wellness, and event rental space.[69] As of April 2021, the organ has been removed from the building and is no longer in existence.[70]
