Traditional folk music of Ticino also distinguishes itself from that of northern Switzerland.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QwlXAAAAYAAJ | title=La vita quotidiana in Svizzera dal 1300 | publisher=Armando Dadò Editore | author=Gentile, Gianni | year=1991 | pages=275 | isbn=9788885115293 |quote=Sono fioriti però anche differenti generi di musica popolare: nella Svizzera tedesca i ''Ländler'' e le sonorità del corno delle Alpi e degli ''Jodler''. L'arte del coro è stata coltivata nella Svizzera romanda e nel Grigioni romancio grazie a una preesistente ricca tradizione. Nel Ticino e in Italia invece fu soprattutto l'opera di stile veristico a diventare patrimonio popolare. I garzoni panettieri e macellai, mentre pedalavano sulle loro biciclette per fare le consegne, zufolavano le arie più famose di Verdi, Puccini e Mascagni. |trans-quote=However, different genres of popular music also flourished: in German-speaking Switzerland the ''Ländler'' and the sounds of the Alphorn and the ''Jodlers''. Choir art was cultivated in French-speaking Switzerland and Romansh Grisons thanks to a pre-existing rich tradition. In Ticino and Italy, on the other hand, it was above all the veristic style work that became popular heritage. The bakers and butchers, while pedaling on their bicycles to make deliveries, whistled the most famous arias of Verdi, Puccini and Mascagni.}}</ref> Among traditional instruments are the accordion, the guitar and, since the 19th century, the mandolin. Duos and trios with mandolin and guitar typically accompany regional folk songs.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xcmKTEeot-UC | title=Northern Italian & Ticino Region Folk Songs for Mandolin | publisher=Mel Bay Publications | author=Aonzo, Carlo | year=2015 | pages=5 | isbn=9781610659406 |quote=il mandolino è arrivato in Ticino, e qui ha messo delle importanti radici, essendo tra i principali rappresentanti del patrimonio culturale locale | trans-quote=the mandolin arrived in Ticino, and here it has taken roots, being among the main representatives of the local cultural heritage}}</ref> However, like most of Switzerland, Ticino has a long brass-band tradition. A regional, reduced version, is the ''bandella'', an ensemble consisting of brass instruments and clarinets.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Gh03DwAAQBAJ | title=The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music: Europe | publisher=[[Routledge]] | author=Rice, Timothy | chapter=Switzerland: The Italian-speaking part | year=2017| isbn=9781351544269 }}</ref>
