Good afternoon! Tell me please! The husband is delirious, he wants to see the show of pipes (when playing on national Swiss pipes), says such a show should be in Bern? It's true?

Alpine horn - national wooden wind instrument. The sounds extracted from it are close in sound to the usual trumpet, with the exception of the note "fa", which sounds like F-sharp, which is also heard in the songs of jodlers in central Switzerland (it is believed that iodl-singing originates from the Alpine horn). The capital of the alpine horn is Nenda, where an international folklore festival is held every summer
Bern on the first Thursday of Lent, there is a carnival every year, beginning with the battle of drums, singing pipes and the Alpine horn - according to the plot, the symbol of the city is Berne bear - awakens from hibernation and welcomes participants in the carnival. The rest of the time in Bern, you can hear the Alpine horn during any folklore performances. Or go to Nendu, where you can even learn to play on this national alpine musical instrument
