These conch shells stand about 7" to 8" tall, are about 7" wide, and weigh about 3 lbs. You can hear the fantastic tones of a conch shell at the beginning of an event in Hawaii. Because the very end of the cone of the shell is cut to reveal a round hole to blow into. The technique I use is like that of playing a brass instrument, it's simple, just put your lips together and blow, but you need to buzz your lips like a baby learning how to make a cute spitting sound. Guaranteed to work after a little practice, have someone who knows how to blow a trumpet help you. These shells make nice decorations also, but they are a little chipped on the edges of the "horns" from epic battles with an octopus or anyone else trying to eat them. The lip has also been rounded off also, for evenness. conch1 Click on picture for view of cut hole Thirty day money back satisfaction guarantee on every product.
