      Not bad lol. I'm not an ocean boy though. But I recently have gotten into selling rocks and crystals and fossils. And just looking for stuff to sell, I found some cheap conch shells. Well my very first attempt at cutting a horn worked perfectly. So now I'm gonna start making horns and sell those too. It's really only about profit for me. But I can feel those energies ppl talk about with crystals and I feel like I started feeling the energies that large shells out off. Idk maybe I'm crazy.

      Hi Darryl! Thanks for your message. I just measured it, or tried to, it’s about 40cm long. It’s a big one, but I’ve seen bigger. Personally, I would like a smaller one so it’s easier to carry around, but I’m just happy to have one :) the smaller ones are harder to play, but I think they’re really cool as well

But hey what is the point of learn without challenge. After your instruction I can get two level tone from Horagai. I hope to be able to reach next level with practice and time without annoying my lovely neighbours hahaha. I look forward to more Horagai lessons from you. Once again thank you very much.
