Josef Raffin Celebrates 80th Birthday
By Gerard Dabonot

Dear organ friends,  Mr. Josef Raffin will be 80 years old on May 24th,
2012.  He was invited with his wife as guest star in "Musikantenstadl",
the most popular TV show on the first channel in Germany and in
Switzerland.  The surprise for them: all their eight daughters with
their husbands and twenty grandchildren.  And, naturally, music with
three of his organs playing together -- a great moment!  See

Attachment thumbnail This year Orgelbau Raffin GmbH has made a new reed organ for the French, Belgian and Switzerland market with the 27-notes scale. 250 songs are available for it at Le Turlutain in France. Another organ with the same scale and pipes will be coming soon. Le Turlutain in France will be their official agent for the French area. Thanks to all.
