At home, in choral and musical associations, at dances, and at folk festivals. And there are just as many instruments on which typical Swiss music is played. Over 250 can be admired, many can be heard and some of them can even be played by visitors. Yodelers, alpenhorn players and flag throwers now have a home at the Swiss Yodelers' Parlor. Seven large showcases display instruments grouped as used for house music, dance music, children's music, youth music, as well as musical and sound accompaniment to folk customs.
Pictures document their history, the way they are played, and their use.
Maps show their geographic distribution, while scores and taped music give an idea of their tonality and musical scope.
