Have any tips on where to get an alpenhorn? They're quasi-famous from the Ricola commercials in the 80's.



I don't see any valves on them. Do you play it like a bugle?

Tibetan dungchen is cool GODDAMNED AWESOME too:





wikipedia posted:

It is the most widely used instrument in Tibetan Buddhist culture. It is often played in pairs or multiples, and the sound is compared to the singing of elephants.

Thank you for this information. I had no idea these existed before now. But it's very obvious that I need to get one. I'm in China right now, finishing an English teaching contract. And Tibet is right next door to China. This is almost like a sign from the gods that I should own a Dungchen.

Do you know any more about them? I'm going to try to get one, but Chairman Mao is a complete bitch about letting foreigners into Tibet.
