Traditionalists and enthusiasts will find everything they need to know about the alphorn and more. There is a systematic introductory course for beginners, where various topics on the background and basics of alphorn playing are also discussed. Alternatively, you can find out about taster courses, workshops and alphorn meetings here. Several composers make their sheet music available to download free of charge. If you are still looking for a suitable instrument, go to the section on alphorn makers. If you are generally interested in harmonics / just intonation, you will find videos and articles on topics ranging from the use of electronic aids and begging horns to findings from music research.
