May 05, 1953 - Large and small shells are used by German missionaries with the papuas on New-Guinea to replace organs. They are blowing chorales on them. They are also using a special sound and note-syste invented by them as there may only one sound be blown on one shell. The shell - chorus being similar to the trombon- ~ ~ ~ ~ in its sound can, on the whole world, be found on two places ~ ~ ~ ~ ~: in New-Guinea (the second largest island in the world in the North of Austrlia) and in the Middle-Frankonian place Neuendettelsau where there is a training - school for missionaries.
