St. John’s Episcopal Church

St. John’s Episcopal Church in Johnson City, Tennessee selected R.A. Colby to provide custom casework and oversee the installation of a relocated and rebuilt pipe organ for their new sanctuary. The instrument, originally built by Möller in 1946 and later rebuilt in 2004, was removed, restored, and adapted to its new setting between 2021 and 2023. Colby collaborated closely with the organbuilder to integrate the historic pipework with new digital resources and to design cabinetry that fit the architectural setting. The completed instrument features three manuals, 46 ranks, and approximately 2,700 pipes across two enclosed divisions. Installation was completed in summer 2023, and a dedicatory recital was held that May.
