In 1982 Frances Jones was minding her own business holidaying in Switzerland when she found herself drawn inexorably to a Zurich music store by the scent of freshly carved pine and row upon row of Alphorns; coloured and carved, some no more than tiny toy horns, others laid long in their full 14 foot glory.
'May I try one?' she asked the proprietor. 'Of course'. He replied. She just put her lips together and blew. It was a moment never to be forgotten.
David Stafford met Frances, in a field near Henley-Upon-Thames to hear about her love for the great instrument and to test its legendary power over cattle.
