I'm willing to bet playing any wind instrument would have the same effect.

    Just pursing my lips and blowing, I can feel the muscle in the back of my mouth going tight. Adding extra resistance from an instrument and time from playing it, would probably build up some muscle quite fast

    If you go “conch-hoo conch-hoo” while you’re awake, then you won’t say it while you’re sleeping

    Do the conches like being blown? There's a question of consent here.

    I'm sure the conch sleeps very well after...

    When I was a kid i grew up on a small farm, and we used to blow a conch shell to let everyone know it was meal time.

    Is there a trick to it? I remember trying once as a kid and getting basically nothing.

    It has been a while since I did it regularly, but from what I remember you blow raspberries, without sticking out your tongue. There was a bit of getting your lips in the proper form.

    I used to practice after school while everyone was at work, sometimes I would sit on the living room couch watching after school cartoons and practice the conch during commercials.
