Lechgold Alphorn Handpipe Swiss Pine F#

Finally, Different Tunings with Just One Alphorn!

As a traditional manufacturer of wind instruments, Lechgold also offers individual alphorn handpipes! Available in 5 versions and 3 tunings, everyone finds the right handpipe for their instrument.

With one (or more) additional handpipe(s), you not only have the opportunity to expand your own repertoire by many pieces. Also, when playing together with other wind players – for example at alphorn gatherings – you remain flexible and always right at the forefront.

Different Tunings Through Optional Handpipes

By using a different handpipe, the tuning of the alphorn can be changed quickly and easily. This option allows you to play a larger repertoire of pieces without having to carry a complete second instrument. This saves weight, space, and money.

Gold-Anodized Connecting Sockets

Absolute tightness is guaranteed by the 3 rubber seals on the handpipe’s connecting socket. This highest-quality connection technique was adopted from the Lechgold "top-class" alphorn and is now used on all Lechgold alphorns and handpipes.

The gold-anodized connections are extremely abrasion-resistant and guarantee a perfect fit over years. Rubbing or mutual oxidation is excluded, ensuring the precisely manufactured connecting sockets seal optimally airtight.

Light and Clean Response

Thanks to the new connecting sockets, all individual parts of the Lechgold alphorns offer absolute precision fit, so that even when using optional handpipes, perfect response and intonation are guaranteed.

100% Made in Austria

The Lechgold alphorns are crafted with great care from Austrian woods from higher Alpine regions. It is important that the tree grew slowly, so the growth rings lie close together. This allows improved vibration. The wood is slowly dried over several years to avoid tension and warping.
