Switzerland

The Swiss are represented by two Schwyzerörgelis,

the Swiss version of the diatonic Accordion. A five-course

Appenzell dulcimer, an Alphorn ensemble and a bowed

double bass complete the typical Swiss instrumentation.

Austria

Austria offers instruments of Stub'nmusik,

probably the most original form of alpine folk music.

Instruments like zither, plucked guitar, harp and plucked

double bass create the tonal basis here. In addition, this

group includes Styrian harmonicas (Steirische), an

accordion, an ocarina and a recorder.

The „Schuhplattler“ provide a rustic atmosphere with

clapping and stomping. Should you miss the three-voiced

chromatic dulcimer, developed by the Salzburg musician

Tobi Reiser - this instrument is part of the original library

"Alpine Volksmusik 1".
