Today, the Raymond family still manufactures bird calls; it is now the fourth generation.
The materials have changed, but the innovative spirit and the pleasure to create is still the same.

Today bird calls are made :

• Of leather, to make an air bag.		• Of rubber
• Of wood (boxwood, hornbeam, beech).		• Of plastic.

• Of brass, an alloy consisting of zinc and copper, a material that faithfully reproduces sound. Trumpets and saxophones are also made of brass.

They are ear tested during and after the manufacturing process.

The "Raymond house" is a world renowned bird call maker.
In 1980, Mr. Maurice Charretier who was then the French Trade and Craft Industry Minister visited the factory with the French President, Mr. Valéry Giscard d’Estaing.
During the nature and hunting show, in September 2000, the French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin met Bernard Raymond and watched a demonstration on how to use bird calls.

A bird call collection can be seen at the Museum of natural history in Paris.
