Instrument making – Alphorn with Heinz Tschiemer at Ballenberg

You will immerse yourself in the traditional craft of instrument making and make your own Bernatone alphorn. You will also learn exciting facts about the history and materials of alphorn making. The parts, some of which are roughly prefabricated, are said, sanded and straightened by hand to form a three-meter-long musical instrument in the basic pitch of F sharp. You will also visit the Bernatone production facility in Habkern during a joint excursion and enjoy an exclusive insight into the active alphorn tradition.
