Alphorns
Balu Musik is a proud dealer of Alphorns made in the USA by Bruce Coutant. They are exquisitely made and play very well in tune. Each harmonic is where you expect it to be so you can focus on making music, not on finding the right notes. These alphorns come in six pieces so you can conveniently carry them in a sturdy Pelican case or in the available carrying bag. Each Alphorn comes with several mouthpieces and one adapter for your horn mouthpiece.
This alphorn is a perfect tool for recruiting students because of its great sound and appearance. Experiences at conferences have been overwhelmingly positive. The alphorn draws students of all ages who are curious about this large and wonderful instrument. Questions are countless about comparing to other horns and wanting a chance to play. Fantasy fans compare the alphorn to the large battle horns seen in epic films such as Lord of the Rings. People are so drawn to the alphorn that we have to schedule showings at exhibits to keep the booth from getting overcrowded. As a band director or professor, taking an alphorn to help recruit young horn players has an extraordinary amount of potential to attract more students. Check it out at our next exhibit!
Due to the current pandemic, construction has been temporarily suspended. We will update our inventory as soon as they are available!
