Austria offers a collection of instruments for Stubenmusik, one of the most traditional forms of alpine folk music.

Instruments such as zither, guitar, harp, and plucked double bass form the foundation.

This group also includes Styrian harmonicas (Steirische), accordion, ocarina, and recorder.

The "Schuhplattler" add a rustic atmosphere with clapping and stomping.
