Alphorn Bernatone

An alphorn from Bernatone is made only from native spruce wood from mountain forests of Habkern. From the raw tree trunk to the ready-to-play instrument, the Tschiemer family processes and refines the wood. Hans Tschiemer (father) saws the logs in his sawmill, Heinz Tschiemer (owner Bernatone GmbH) makes beautiful alphorns from them. For each alphorn we can indicate the exact origin of the soundwood.

With the purchase of a Bernatone Alphorn you buy a piece of deep Swiss homeland.
