Creative people do appreciate creative things                  ----- Original Message ----- From: Christian Woehr To: Legendary Shells Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 1:27 AM Subject: Re: Large Conch Shell horn in 'E' (high)   Dear Robert,     My horn is beautiful.  It arrived Wednesday, in time to begin toughening up my poor lip.  It is just a bit low, but if I make sure not to block the opening with my hand at all, it is just high enough to qualify as a "folk instrument 'E' ".   It's so much easier to play (with the brass  mouthpiece) than my other conch, and has a big round sound.  My challenge will be to play it softly when required, and to have the endurance needed on it. (It plays almost continuously for several minutes).       I don't actually play it with the orchestra until Wednesday, but I heard a recording of the piece today (Revueltas "Night of the Maya").  It's wild, loud, and sounds like a Human Sacrifice Convention.  The horn on my recording is actually playing a 'C', and sounds rather wimpy and erratic. I hope I can do better. Thanks so much for your prompt service and excellent product.     Christian Woehr     Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra   ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gayle" <Gayle@sgrose.com> To: <info@conchking.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 10:04 PM Subject: Re: Your Receipt Order Number: 1343 > Dear Conch King... > I just wanted to let you know that the conch horns and shell lamps arrived > the other day and they are absolutely gorgeous!  The quality is impeccable, > the shells exquisite, and I just can't rave enough!  One is for my sister, > who retired on her sailboat, and the other is for our daughter's wedding. > Both will be heirloom gifts, and they will have fun using them, too!  Thanks > again, so very much, for such an extraordinary product!!!  You are > right...creative people (I'm a multimedia artist) will search high and low > for truly creative things, and I'm so glad I found you! > Gayle Rose > > Feel free to post this rave on your website!
