SHELL BELLS / CAMPANAS DE CARACOL




TYPE: BELLS (IDIOPHONES)


These shell bells were created using bits of shells gathered at Calvert Cliffs in Maryland. Each bell produces a different note based on the size of its bell; the smaller the bell the higher the note and vice versa. 

Estas campanas de caracol se crearon utilizando pedacitos de caracoles recolectados en Calvert Cliffs en Maryland. Cada campana produce una nota diferente según el tamaño de su campana; cuanto más pequeña es la campana, más alta es la nota y viceversa.
