During the eighteenth century, a unique school of organbuilding emerged in Venice. Its special characteristics form the basis of the Ruffatti tradition. From Padova, the Italian city where our organbuilding activity began, Ruffatti has traveled to six continents over the years to build new, prestigious instruments.
Half a century ago they started with the philological restoration of historical organs, in Italy and abroad. We utilize the most sophisticated techniques, to restore full functionality and tonal authenticity to these precious instruments.
Raffatti custom builds instruments with traditional mechanical action or with the most efficient and advanced electric systems.

This is the best way to achieve a truly efficient quality control and the utmost customization of each instrument.
