Hello my name is Alexy i write to you from switzerland and i m an alphorn player ,
your alphorn is very nice you can found now in carbon fiber, but you can have a best sound with a simple pipe coolants for garden cut a 3,40m long and a mouthpiece
, and you put a funnel , after you have to work your instrument thats how i have begin,
you can see my videos on the net alphorn emosson best regards
I googled PCV alphorn and this came up. Nice job. I am amazed at the cost of a real alphorn. Then again they are all hand crafted. Surprised no one ever produced a starter one out of molded plastic. Anyway great job...
Good idea. I was thinking of using increasing diameters of pvc tubing glued together, and then a 45 degree elbow for the bend, but your idea is more economical.
@MitchMb14 I played the alphorn when I did a gig with my OktoberFest band last week. The audience reaction was a mixture of "You're a genius" or "You're a nutjob."
Well, it kind of sounds like an alp horn, but so far I have only been able to get about three notes clearly. Not sure what you mean by bended...it's just straight PVC tubes except for the elbow at the end.

Is it possible to get the same sounds as the wooden ones? does it have to be bended?
