Due to the natural differences associated with making musical instruments out of Seashells, we take our measurements of shell length before cutting them, some shell horns will be shorter or longer depending on how much needs to be removed in order to make a nice sounding horn. Turbinella angulata, common name the West Indian chank shell or Lamp Shell, is a species of very large tropical sea snail with a gill and an operculum, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinellidae.[1]
The name "chank" for the shell of this species is derived from the word shankha, the divine conch or sacred conch. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
