Image 1: Straight Alpine Horn (*Gerades Alphorn* / *Hirtenhorn*)**</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Shape:** A long, continuous **straight conical tube** without a bent bell at the end.</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Playing Position:** Because it lacks the curved base, players hold the instrument tilted upwards into the air.</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Names:** Frequently referred to as a **straight Alphorn** (*gerades Alphorn* / *Geradhorn*) or a shepherd's horn (*Hirtenhorn*).</p><p class="ql-block">### **2. Image 2: Classic Alphorn (*Alphorn* / *Alpenhorn*)**</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Shape:** Features the iconic **upturned, J-curved bell** at the bottom end.</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Playing Position:** Designed to rest directly on the ground (often supported by a small wooden stand/foot) while playing.</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Names:** Known standardly as the **Alphorn** or **Alpenhorn**.</p><p class="ql-block">### **Summary**</p><p class="ql-block">While both instruments function identically as valve-less wooden brass-type instruments (playing notes from the natural harmonic scale), **Image 1** shows the **straight model** held in the air, whereas **Image 2** shows the **traditional curved model** resting on the ground.</p> <p class="ql-block">这演出很有Alps的特色,而且音乐很优美,我就尽量多保留些在此,与大家分享吧。</p> <p class="ql-block">他在讲解alphorn 的制作和关于演奏的音乐,可惜 It's all German(Greek) to me.</p> <p class="ql-block">附近的牛也来凑热闹?</p> <p class="ql-block">Cow bell声给alphorn伴奏?</p> <p class="ql-block">中间休息一下,给演奏者们送上啤酒/水。</p> <p class="ql-block">最后以直管阿尔卑斯号角结束。</p> <p class="ql-block">对演出者表示赞扬和感谢。</p> <p class="ql-block">散场后再走上坡返泊车地方</p> <p class="ql-block">快九点了,还未日落。</p> <p class="ql-block">很高兴今晚有机会在<span style="font-size:18px;">这风景秀丽的巴伐利亚山村中欣赏到</span>了这么美妙的alphorn的演出,真令人赏心悦耳目! </p><p class="ql-block">用AI搜索了解一下Alphorn</p> <p class="ql-block">From Gemini:</p><p class="ql-block">When people mention a "long horn" musical instrument, they are usually thinking of a few distinct traditional or cultural instruments depending on the region and material:</p><p class="ql-block">### 1. Alphorn (Alpine Horn)</p><p class="ql-block">The iconic long wooden horn from the European Alps, traditionally carved from solid spruce or pine and wrapped in birch bark.</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Length:** 8 to 12 feet (2.5 to 3.7 meters) long.</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Origin:** Swiss Alps and surrounding regions.</p><p class="ql-block"> * **How it works:** It has no keys, valves, or finger holes. Pitch is controlled entirely by lip tension (embouchure), producing notes within the natural overtone series. Historically, mountain herders used it to communicate across valleys and call cattle home.</p><p class="ql-block">......</p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block">This instrument is an **alphorn** (also known as an *alpenhorn* or *Alphorn* in German).</p><p class="ql-block">It is a long, conical wooden horn traditionally used by mountain dwellers across the Alpine regions of Europe—most notably in Switzerland, Bavaria (Germany), and Austria.</p><p class="ql-block">### Key Highlights</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Construction:** Made almost entirely of spruce or pine wood, wrapped in birch bark or cane, and topped with a wooden mouthpiece.</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Sound & Playing:** Because it has no keys, valves, or finger holes, all pitch changes are created strictly through overtone series using the player's lip pressure (embouchure).</p><p class="ql-block"> * **Cultural Context:** Historically used by alpine herdsmen to signal across valleys and call cattle home, today it’s a iconic staple of traditional Alpine folk music and regional festivals. The musicians in the photo are dressed in traditional Bavarian/Austrian attire (*Trachten*), including *Lederhosen* and alpine hats (*Trachten hüt*).</p>
