Johann Hinrich Färber (1820–1888) was a German organ builder from Tönning, renowned for his craftsmanship and contributions to the field of organ construction. He was the son of Johann Jürgen Färber, a sexton and carpenter, and completed his apprenticeship with the well-known organ building company Marcussen & Reuter in Aabenraa. After completing his training, Färber returned to Tönning, where he established his own workshop and gained a reputation for the high quality of his work. His expertise and skill were widely recognized, with his works extending from Hamburg to southern Denmark.
Färber is credited with constructing around 20 to 30 new organs during his career. His reputation was solidified by his innovative approach and the precision of his work, which earned him the title of one of the "most ingenious students" of Marcussen & Reuter, as quoted by the organist Wacker of Kotzenbüll. Färber’s legacy continued through his son, Friedrich Johann Färber, who took over the workshop and also worked as a piano builder. However, by 1903, the workshop was no longer active in Tönning. Färber's contributions to organ building left a lasting impact on the region's musical landscape.
