Expertise in alphorn mouthpieces

The mouthpiece is a very personal and individual tool for every wind musician to influence the character of their instrument. 
Due to the anatomical characteristics of each wind player, the requirements are also individually different. 
The mouthpiece forms the link between the instrument and the player.

Bernatone Alphorn

A Bernatone alphorn is made exclusively from local spruce wood from the mountain forests of Habkern. From the raw tree trunk to the finished instrument, the wood is processed and refined by the Tschiemer family:

  • Hans Tschiemer (father) carefully saws the logs in his sawmill.
  • Heinz Tschiemer (owner of Bernatone Ltd.) uses the wood to make the well-known Bernatone alphorns.

We can tell you the exact origin of the wood of every alphorn!

Our promise
When you purchase a Bernatone alphorn, you acquire an incomparable instrument from the region of origin of the world-famous natural tone instruments.
