The Emory & Henry College Memorial Chapel houses a new 24-rank pipe organ, completed by Randall Dyer in 1997. The organ takes advantage of French nomenclature and French terrace design in the console. In addition to the standard pipe organ accessories, it is equipped with the latest technology, including an MC-200 micro-processor relay and combination system, 9-level combination memory, full MIDI and computer interface, piston sequencer, transposer pistons and record-playback piston.

The college owns eight grand pianos, including six Steinways . During the 2001-2002 concert season, the college presented a five-concert series, officially dedicating the new Model "D" Concert Grand, which was given as a gift by the Wilbur Smith family of Bluefield, VA, in memory of Margaret Gatherum Smith.

The piano lab used for group piano lessons consists of nine Roland electronic MIDI-capable keyboards. Other equipment in the department includes advanced music printing software, a MIDI sound sequencer, and digital recording equipment.
