Tracy von Sonneborn began his alphorn career clutching a small wooden bugle that had become dislodged from a nutcracker on the mantel of his grandparents’ fireplace.  In flagrant disregard of directions to commit the objet de bruit to the flames, he persisted, putting clams through the horn at such a swift pace that, like Pinocchio (or Superman, depending on your taste), it grew to its terminal length of twelve feet in remarkably short order.  “It’s twice as effective as a puppy in getting the attention of ladies in the area.  Unfortunately, they rarely have more to say than ‘moo,’ or sometimes ‘bahhh’ on a good day,” he observes.
