Alphorn building week 19/2024
Ossingen - Wetter Instrumente Steinerstr. 27, OssingenMake your own alphorn from A to Z. The alphorn, which is over three meters long, is milled and turned with the help of CNC milling machines and semi-mechanical special machines and then assembled by hand into a fully functional instrument.

The course begins with an individual preparation day by arrangement and continues with six course days in the course workshop in Ossingen.
