Thread Name: Help: trad. music in Prague and points north
Subject: trad. music in Prague and points north
Me and the DH (dear husband) are going to central Europe from May 16 - 27th. We will be in Prague four days, then we will boat north on the Elbe/Labo to Berlin.

Where might we go to hear traditional Czech or German music on this route? (I understand that the Czechs have an instrument called the cymbolon which seems rather like a hammer dulcimer and would like to hear one.)

I have a friend from a Czech-American town in Nebraska, and she says that brass bands were big. That would be okay, too.

Yes, I know the Spring music festival is on, but I can hear Mozart and Beethoven anywhere.
