Tiba playing shepherd in the Safien valley

Tiba is a wind instrument made of wood or metal that originates in the Grisons canton in Switzerland. It was used by shepherds on alpine meadows in the Alps.

Exhibition

The Regional Museum of Surselva held until the end of March 2011 the exhibition "Tiba Tones", showing the 50+ Tibas made of different materials.[1] Numerous people from the region showed their tibas, which were stored in alpine huts, at the museum's request.
