Hi, me again,
I don't usually do this on public forums, but I just wanted to thank
Professor Pizka for his in-depth answer. I'm aware that a player of his caliber
probably doesn't have a lot of time to deal with the trivial questions of
students who pay him no money and live on another c

The animal that lived in the shell would make a good stopping mute. But

I have written a serenade for two conch shells and
Steve Turre, jazz trombonist, is also a jazz conchist. He has a group,
Sanctified Shells, and CDs. While a natural horn has a greater range, several
notes can be gotten out of a conch shell by manipulating the right hand in the,
er, bell. Now about getting a tuned set of conch shells...

Shucks, wouldn't surprise me 1 bit to learn the animal husbandry geniuses
down at Texas A&M -- if they wanted to -- could turn out herds of the
appropriate variety of the proper species that collectively grow complete

In my opinion, it would be because there is a significant literature for the
natural horn, whereas the conch shell, hunting horn, alp horn and the like do
not. they may have a large amount of music for them but it is more "practical"
than written for its musical value and because of that doesn'

Hey, with all the money you save by not needing to buy rotary valve oil,
you can commission some famous composer to write something for natural horn
or conch shell or shofar.

How about more work for the Shofar? A composer could start his work and
when he's completed his first movement could announce, "well, shofari so
goody."
Hey, it's Monday that's my excuse.

I don't think Beethoven or Mozart wrote anything for the conch.
All the best,

Nick, you got the news quite late indeed, as even Dennis
Brain started the "natural horn rebirth" in the very early
1950ies, more than 50 years ago. And he got a large number
of "followers", who adopted the natural horn ads their
"second leg" for special concerts since.
Nick, have you ever heard
Maybe I should read the replies before I reply myself? Sorry!

I have written a serenade for two conch shells and flute that was
actually performed by yours truly on 1st Conch and two friends of mine,
back in college. So yes, the conch shell is also making a comeback!

Dear List,
I've heard that recently, the natural horn has been making a
comeback. My question is, why the natural horn? Why not the hunting
horn, alp horn, or even the conch shell? it seem like an oddly
specific instrument to make a comeback. There are doz
