Conch shells can be used as [[wind instrument]]s, by cutting a small hole in the [[spire (mollsc)|spire]] and then blowing into the shell as if it were a trumpet, as in [[blowing horn]].
Conch shell trumpets were historically used throughout the South Pacific, in countries such as [[Fiji]]. In resorts in Fiji they still blow the shell as a performance for the tourists. The Fijians also used the conch shell when the chief died: the chief's body would be brought down a special path and the conch would be played until the chief's body reached the end of the path. Only the chief's body could go down that path.{{Fact|date=July 2008}}
The American jazz trombonist [[Steve Turre]] also plays conches, notably with his group Sanctified Shells.<ref>[http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=277 Steve Turre's Sanctified Shells Band, from allaboutjazz.com, 2003-04-10]</ref>
A partially [[Delay (audio effect)|echoplexed]] Indian conch was featured prominently as the primary instrument depicting the [[Space Jockey (Alien)|extraterrestrial]] environment of the derelict spaceship in [[Jerry Goldsmith]]'s [[film score|score]] for the film [[Alien (film)|''Alien'']]. Director [[Ridley Scott]] was so impressed by the eerie effect that he requested its use throughout the rest of the score, including the ''Main Title''.<ref>Mike Matessino, CD-booklet ''Alien: Complete Original Motion Picture Soundtrack'', Intrada (MAF 7102), 2007</ref>
Composer [[John Cage]] has used partially water-filled conch shells, which, when tilted slowly, create gurgling sounds beyond the player's control, which are then amplified. This sound effect was used by [[James Horner]] in the film ''[[Troy (film)|Troy]]'' and by [[Annea Lockwood]] in her compositions.{{Fact|date=August 2008}}
