Alphorn maker Josef Stocker checks an alphorn in his garden outside his factory in Kriens, central Switzerland August 26, 2010. Stocker, one of about five professional alphorn manufacturers in Switzerland, produces around 70 hand-finished traditional Swiss alphorns of spruce wood per year. To make an alphorn takes him around 20 hours and he sells each for 2,800 Swiss Francs ($ 2,735). Picture taken August 26, 2010.
