Just listened to your shell serenade....awesome!!! Unreal how many distinct sounds you are able to make with it. So similar to a horn.

[@DonChilton]

Hi Jane, Thank you so much for listening. I agree… It really is amazing. The conch shell horn has such a beautiful and haunting tone. The conch shell horn is the original trumpet. It has been used as a horn for thousands of years. In fact, the oldest known conch shell horn was found in a cave in the French Mountains 18,000 years ago.

Cool concept! Such nice listening, and combined with the images you really got me longing for summer and sea there... There's some mysterious kind of attractiveness about seashells...

Hi Lauri!!

[@SafiaGray]

Of the various kinds of conch shell, which is this? I need one to blow dinner time at a camp. I played cornet 50 years ago in the HS marching band so I figure I will figure how to blow it

[@DonChilton]

@SafiaGray, I actually used 6 different conch shells in the arrangement. 5.5” Chank Shell (C#) 6" Fox Shell (C) 6" Conch Shell (A) 7.5" Conch Shell (E) 9.5" Triton Shell (D) 11" Horse Conch (F) The ones you see me playing in the video are the fox shell, conch shell and horse conch. The one that is "found" on the rocks, is a Queen or Caribbean conch. Really, any conch shell will work for what you are looking to do. If you have a shell you could cut it yourself to make a conch shell horn, or you could buy one online. Many of the shells I have are from Conch King at: www.conchking.com/Horns.htm
