Side-blown conches
notation: 423.112
definition: The air itself is the vibrator in the primary sense. The standing waves are significantly confined within the instrument itself. The air-stream passes through the player's vibrating lips, so gaining intermittent access to the air column which is to be made to vibrate. A side-blown conch shell serves as a trumpet. Oceania.
