Have you always dreamed of immersing yourself in the world of traditional music? Verlag der Spielleute offers you the unique opportunity to discover and deepen your passion for bagpipes and historical instruments. Discover extraordinary melodies and be inspired by the variety of traditional sounds.
If you would like to learn a traditional instrument or improve your skills, then the Spielleute publishing house is the right place for you. Our latest video humorously shows why it’s sometimes better to pick up a book first before tackling an instrument like the Bohemian Bock.

Video highlight: The Bohemian goat
In our video you can see a protagonist trying to play a Bohemian Bock – with little success. The sketch shows in an amusing way that our protagonist is not a musician and can’t hit the right note. The ironic tone of the video is sure to make you smile and emphasizes how important it is to learn the basics before you get started.
Are you up for it too?
Our message in the video is: “You’ve got Bohemian Bock, but can’t hit the right note? You can find textbooks for Bohemian Bock and other instruments from the Spielleute publishing house.” This sentence sums up our mission. We offer you the best textbooks and resources to help you improve your skills on traditional instruments like the Bohemian Bock – so you don’t end up like our protagonist.
