The Triton Pu shell horn herald--iconic at our weddings! Demo by Rev. David Sears of BeachPeople Weddings, filmed by Margo Sears. See more at www.beachpeopleweddings.com. Like church bells and trumpet fanfare, the ancient tradition of the shell horn announcement heralds the beginning of a new marriage and calls in blessings and good fortune for the happy couple. When done properly, the Triton shell produces a low, gentle sound that can carry for miles across land and sea. The Hawaiian ceremonial practice of blowing the Triton shell dates back to ancient times and continues in many present-day traditions such as symphonies and weddings! Also mimicks the Jewish Shofar and modern wedding trumpets and bells. In Polynesia, this distinctive resonance once heralded the arrival of the Ali’i (the Chief), or the beginning of the peaceful Makahiki season (Hawai’ian New Year/harvest season), or the arrival of royalty, coronation of kings & queens, and other noteworthy events. Today, it is often heard at weddings, graduations or other special celebrations in the Caribbean, the U.S., on Celtic and African shores, and in Asia too. Revs. David and Margo use the Triton Pu shell horn instead of the typical conch at your wedding. The Triton is more colorful in photos, has a more musical tone, and is more reliable to make an impressive sound in all weather conditions. The iconic sound? Seashells were used as at sea as ship horns before the inventions of metalwork and electricity, thus the low, deep sound reminds most people of an ship’s foghorn sound. Now you know why those horns sound like that. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTwA-sLqIeo
