A horn made from a conch shell found in France almost a century ago has been played for the first time in about 18,000 years, scientists announced on Wednesday.
If its characterization as a shell-horn is correct, the conch found in Marsoulas Cave is the earliest known wind instrument made of shell, Carole Fritz of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and colleagues reported in Science Advances. 
“Anthropologists and ethnomusicologists assert that there is no society without song, and more specifically, there is no ritual or celebration without accompanying sound,” the authors open their article. That is arguably true; and now the shell, which had been found in 1931 and then completely forgotten for 80 years, shows us what early music made of mollusk may have sounded like. ....

Science Advances. Discovered in Marsoulas Cave, France, where the walls are rich in rock art, the conch horn provides a rare insight into the sounds that once reverberated around this sacred space, and probably held an important social or ritual meaning to the local Upper Palaeolithic population. ....

18,000-Year-Old Conch Shell Used As Instrument By Prehistoric People Can Still Create Music


Font Size:
A conch shell believed to have been used as an instrument by prehistoric people 18,000 years ago was tried out by a French horn player, and was found to still be capable of creating music, numerous sources reported.
Archaeologists originally found the seashell inside a French cave with prehistoric paintings in 1931, and it was believed to be a ceremonial cup with a hole that was caused by accidental damage, NPR reported.
Shellabrate: A large conch shell overlooked in a museum for decades is now thought to be the oldest known seashell instrument. Researchers estimate it to be around 18,000 years old. A French horn player got the shell to produce C, C sharp and D notes. https://t.co/2uH3gVFEmt#odd ....
