Alphorn Video: Mnozil Brass
A reader (thank you!) sent a link to the video below, which features Gerhard Füssl on alphorn with Mnozil Brass. He is a trombonist with the group and puts on quite a show with the carbon fiber alphorn. Note also that the video is of very high quality with multiple camera angles, etc. Prepare to be entertained!
