Alphorn concert

On 30 July behind of Baku Maiden Tower was a concert of two musicians from Switzerland. They played on ancient musical instrument-alphorn.


The alphorn or alpenhorn or alpine horn is a labrophone, consisting of a natural wooden horn of conical bore, having a wooden cup-shaped mouthpiece, used by mountain dwellers in Switzerland and elsewhere. Similar wooden horns were used for communication in most mountainous regions of Europe, from French Switzerland to the Carpathians.
