About the alphorn mouthpiece
Let your friends play your alphorn with their own mouthpiece. The designer (writing in German) suggests this printed mouthpiece for guests, for practice, or as a spare.
Print it in PLA or PETG with a brim and no supports; they used 4 perimeters with a 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.2 mm, 0.1 mm or adaptive layers. Afterwards, sand the rim a little to round it off so it's comfortable on the lips.
