FYI!
 
There is a sound file on Conch-Net of Winston Ponder (I think) blowing a
conch shell.
 
It is at:  http://coa.acnatsci.org/conchnet/conch.wav
 
The file is alittle over 1MB, so if you have a slow computer, you might
not want to try the file.  Those of you with faster modems and
computers, take a listen.
 
Also, don't forget that there is at least one musical group that uses
different sized shells as wind instruments.  I've heard the group (but
don't remember the name).  I was amazed at the level of harmony and
"real" music they were able to coax out of those shells.
 
Have a great weekend.
