Playing the conch - Pisac
A conch has a spiral shell with a long, tapering tip called a spire. The end of the spire is removed and then the player blows air into the shell through the hole. The sound is loud and dramatic and also has an eerie quality.- A conch player controls the pitch of the sound by his or her embouchure (the control of a sound by the shaping of the lips and the use of facial muscles and the tongue). The player may also modify the pitch by putting a hand into the aperture (opening) of the conch shell. Shells of different sizes and shapes are used for their different pitch possibilities and tonal qualities.
