This is the second stamp in a set of four issued in 2007 by Luxembourg. I haven't found any information on the organ, so would welcome any help there. This is from the second set of organ stamps from Luxembourg, issued to promote tourism.

Luxembourg: Esch-Sur-Alzette
This is the last in a set of four stamps issued in 2007. Promoting tourism, this is the second set of stamps Luxembourg has issued featuring church organs. The "Friends of the Organ" association has a helpful site that includes details about many instruments in the country. The present instrument is in the church of St. Joseph in Esch-sur-Alzette. Here is the page for this instrument built in 1977 by G. Westenfelder.
I recently found this site that has more information on the four organs in this set. It includes nice details about each instrument. Very knowledgeable to be a stamp colelctors' site primarily!
Luxembourg: Neiderwiltz
Luxembourg: Echternach
The third in a set of four issued in 2007. Ostensibly issued to promote tourism, these charming instruments are an unusual "come-on" for the average tourist. This organ is found in the basilica in Echternach. It is opus 1010 of the Klais firm of Germany built in 1953. Here are some additional pictures and a stop list.
