I just recently went to a the MIM here in Arizona close where i live . It is a Music Museum and i found a few pictures of some tortoise shells used as drums . They come from Mexico . It is called a Carapacho . It was kinda disturbing at first but then i realized that it was really just a cool sight to see especially because my life is involved in a tortoise hah ! It was actually cool to see even though I would never do that to a tort ! [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] feel free to leave your opinions on these music makers :) please no mean comments , i didn't make these , they are from Mexico from a long time ago . Please excuse the people in the back. :pImageUploadedByTortForum1389814883.372887.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1389814898.902665.jpgImageUploadedByTortForum1389814915.302736.jpg

That's very interesting! Hopefully it's a shell of a tortoise that passed naturally (that's what I'm going to tell myself!). Did it say what kind of tortiose?

I also hope they not found out the tortoise's shell can become a drum after a meal.
