How to Play notes on a conch Shell Pt. 1

My method for note formation on the shells. This goes out to you Don, thanl for the support

[@kleptomanatee]

These videos are fantastic. I have been playing French horn for 8 years now, and I recently wanted to pick up Conch. Thanks, man.

Somebody give this man the award for best intro to a video, lovely

[@kyradavis9344]

I didn't even know you could do this with shells! Amazing!

[@doneaster1642]

Thank-you Matthew for sharing this with us, I wish you all the best. Don Easter

[@mickeyhugs1]

thanks- you explaining this loud+clear- perfecto

[@JonHarnum]

Highly recommended! Great info....

[@barnettsky1]

Nice one mate really interesting technique I did manage to get Steve Turre to talk about the shells a few years back but i dig what you are doing too all the best to you

[@patrickfrost1]

Matthew How are you? Relax. It's nice to see you again on the interwebs. Notes get fuzzy? Timbre rules! I do use two hands since we talked. You're good. Take it easy and stop targeting Mr. Turre.

[@Ashleighmermaid]

love the vibrato at the end

[@JonasViatte]

technique is incredible! guy sounds a bit like an american motivational speech dude. but anyway, wow! congrats on the technique!

[@HenriqueBruno-]

INSANE

[@Malcoladdin]

The other way of getting more notes would be to increase the length with a mouthpiece, ie like with the New Zealand Putatara, or like the Japanese Horagai.

[@hanxzz]

His "conch-quest"... hahaha

[@PandaBear2910]

All hail the magic conch!

[@pajiad191]

@doneaster Thank you, Don Easter, for all that you do and have done in the past. So much depends, Mr. Easter, on a red wheelbarrow, covered with rain. May your cup be filled! and if it is full already, may it be again!

[@BobbyBobeditorinchei]

@rohoke Who cares? this dude is awesome

[@psychedelicatessen3404]

Where do I buy a good Conch for playing? I'm in Australia.

[@niknax8204]

+Matthew Williams Go to a sandy beach with nice, crystal clear water and go diving, and hopefully you will find one. Personally, I found mine in Mexico

[@pants6416]

Nik Nax Careful with that in Australia. We have some deadly animals that live in pretty shells. They're called cone snails and larger ones might be mistaken for a conch underwater. They shoot out a harpoon-like appendage, with deadly neurotoxins that paralyze the victim, including your lungs. If you don't drown, you might suffocate. If stung, call 000 immediately. We have a few dangerous animals to be aware of in our waters (as well as in the bush, and even around homes in scary Queensland). Definitely look into it before visiting our beaches!

[@pants6416]

Nik Nax I should probably mention that people have lived in Australia with our weirdo wildlife for a long time, and people living in each area should be well aware of anything dangerous living in their area and how to avoid it. Most things have anti-venom (not the cone snail, but medics can still help you) and we have good lifeguards too, so don't be scared to come visit Australian nature areas. Just stick to tours and public beaches, heed warnings, and don't poke or grab the wildlife (also best not to go into nature alone). Many are only active at night anyway.

[@vikaschauhan4578]

I have own antique power conch shell. Im intersted to sell my conch if you are ready to buy this article so plz contact me [phone]

[@rohoke]

You play very well....And your video is very helpful for someone wanting to play the conch well. But Please....Pronounce "Conch" properly...It is pronounced " KONK " here in the Keys where I live and throughout the Caribbean where the conch lives. I might add....The conch is one of the finest meats you could stuff in your mouth....Thanks for the post.

[@OOZiTen]

Its pronounced however you say it.

[@soullight2932]

Not in my area it's not.

[@elioraimmanuel]

The correct pronunciation of conch is a CONK. The Triton is not a conch. The Trition and Conch are different Families. The Conch are Family: Strombidae. They are herbivores. The Triton are Family: Cymatiidae. They are fierce predators who are carnivorous.

[@victormorgado5318]

You mean Concha, Conch is a spanglish anglo mutation
