2020-11-07 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: Austin's Opus 2096 was one of the first organs to be built by that company after World War II, and incorporated most of the flue pipework from the Hook and Hastings organ. It was a two-manual-and-pedal instrument of 28 ranks, but was prepared for the addition of a Choir division. In 1952, Herbert Brown, an organbuilder in New York who had worked for Austin Organs, revised the Austin Organ, Op. 2096 (1947) with the addition of an 11-rank Choir division that consisted of vintage ranks from various sources. In 1981, a program of re-actioning and tonal revision was begun by Sebastian Gluck, with generous console preparations for expansion should funds become available in the future. -Jeff Scofield
