Hörbert – the child-friendly MP3 player made of wood now comes to children’s rooms with Swiss songs, rhymes, and audiobooks upon request.

Now there’s something for Swiss ears! Hörbert is the first MP3 player for children that sings and tells stories in Swiss German, ready to play.

Hörbert manufacturer WINZKI offers a new memory card in Swiss dialect as an option, which is already included for the customer when purchasing a Hörbert.
The Hörbert editorial team has curated the most beautiful titles from 20 albums by a total of five Swiss artists, bands, and publishers, and distributed them on Hörbert’s nine colorful buttons, ready to play. The result is impressive – over 150 minutes of content to listen to, rock along with, and sing along to.

“With Christian Schenker & Grüüfeli Tüüfeli, Lorenz Pauli, Marius & die Jagdkapelle, Silberbüx, and the music publisher Turicaphon, we were able to gain five top-class cooperation partners for the Swiss German Hörbert,” says Sandra Hirschmann from product management at Winzki.

The SD card can be loaded with further, custom content by adults on the computer using the supplied Hörbert software. Each memory card offers a total of 17 hours of listening pleasure.

Hörbert buyers can now choose from three different free starter cards: a card with German content, a multilingual card (English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian), and the new card in Swiss German.

An overview of all Hörbert starter cards is available at the following link:

Most of the time, however, singer/song hunter Marius and his buddies from the Jagdkapelle sit in their hunters’ hut and devise irresistible earworms to hilarious stories.
