In May 2008, J. Rainer Lafin of Lörrach, Germany, signed an agreement with Brannen Brothers to have his headjoints made exclusively by their headjoint makers. Mr. Lafin came to the States and spent significant time training the headjoint makers of Brannen to craft Lafin Headjoints to his exacting professional standards. These are not Lafin-style headjoints or Brannen-Lafin Headjoints; they are authentic Lafin Headjoints! There is a single style of Lafin Headjoint made with the Adler Wings.

J. Rainer Lafin worked with Albert Cooper to develop his own signature design of boutique headjoint. After a long period of trial and experimentation, Mr. Lafin began making his own headjoints. To this day, he constantly experiments with new ideas to improve the playing characteristics of his headjoints. As a result, the actual design of Lafin Headjoints changes slightly with some frequency in an ongoing effort to make flutes play even better.
