- "Alphorn Experience" at the Icicle Village Resort in Leavenworth, WA — June 19, 2025
Gary went to a Leavenworth Alphorns board meeting on June 19 and participated in an "Alphorn Experience" event from 1-2 pm for a group of conference folks at the Icicle Village Resort. We opened with a "call & response"
with some of us playing at the event location and others (Brad and his 2 grandsons) playing off in the distance in the parking area. Janet explained the making and functions of the alphorn, we played a few pieces as a group, and conference attendees got the chance to try playing an alphorn in small groups led by members of Leavenworth Alphorns. It was a great event!

- Yannick Plays Büchel at Rainbow Falls, Stehekin

A "Büchel" is a kind of coiled (wrapped or folded) alphorn. Büchels are generally shorter than modern standard alphorns (and thus play in a higher register). Yannick is playing a Büchel in C that is double-folded (double-coiled), making it easier to place in a suitcase for traveling.
