介绍（中）	如同在太平洋的许多地区一样，斐济的海螺贝壳喇叭（称为"davui"）会发出一种响亮的声音，这种声音会传播很远的距离，并被用作信号设备，而不是作为音乐合奏的一部分。这个例子来自维提岛西部，那里的居民以前创造了一种独特的达维岛。西部维提岛贝壳小号的一个独特之处是在贝壳口附近钻了一个小指孔，这使得演奏者可以在演奏时改变音高，从而产生一种上下音调。事实上，所有其他太平洋号角只发出一个音符。与其他斐济海螺贝壳小号不同，西部的维提·莱武·达维是端吹的，用去除贝壳顶端的吹孔，而不是侧吹（使用乐器侧面的孔）。它们也经常被装饰，如这里，用椰子壳纤维制成的精致的绳状流苏，而斐济其他地区的流苏则是未命名的。
介绍（英）	As in many parts of the Pacific, conch shell trumpets in Fiji, called davui, produce a loud sound that carries over long distances and were used as signaling devices rather than played as part of musical ensembles. This example is from the western portion of the island of Viti Levu, whose inhabitants formerly created a distinctive variety of davui. A unique feature of Western Viti Levu shell trumpets is the presence of a small finger hole, bored near the mouth of the shell, which allowed the player to vary the pitch when playing, creating a rising and falling tone. Virtually all other Pacific trumpets emit only a single note. In contrast to other Fijian conch shell trumpets, western Viti Levu davui were end-blown, with a blowing hole made by removing the apex of the shell, rather than side blown (using a hole made in the side of the instrument). They were also frequently decorated, as here, with elaborate rope-like tassels made from coconut husk fiber while those in other parts of Fiji were unornamented.
