Traditional instruments from the Harz region/ Germany




Whip crackers

It is not a music instrument, but people use it to make music. We talk about whips.
If there is a big event in our region, especially in villages around our town men make this kind of music.
People have to practise to make the sounds and they must have a musical hearing.
They wear traditional clothes as you can see in the pictures.
