Product Description

The Shofar carries with it a vast and important history, dating as far back as biblical times. According to the Mishna, two different forms of shofar were used in the Temples. The ibex horn, ornamented with gold, was sounded at New Year and during the Yovel Days. The ram's horn, with silver ornamentation, was sounded on fast days. Ours are authentic, hand cut ram's horn from the Yemen region. As they are natural horns, sizes will vary, the terms small, large, or extra large dictated by the number of twists in the playable horn rather than overall length. The Extra large Yemenite shofar exhibits a twist range of 1 turn up to 2 1/2 turns, sounding in three or more distinct notes. Lark in the Morning Item Number: WIN014

Shofar Extra Large Yemenite
This turned out to be a fabulous shofar. A friend of mine blows the shofar during church festivals. He's very skilled at blowing the shofar. He tested this one out for me and when he blew it, he hit 5 notes! This shofar belongs to my nine year old daughter. She is already randomly hitting three notes after only three days of practice. I highly recommend this seller for their extra large Shofars. - Also note, the shipping was very quick. We ordered the Shofar one day after the Rosh Hashanah (9/28)service and picked it up from the post office a few hours before the first evening of Sukkot (10/12). It was shipped from Isreal to Washington state in that amount of time.

The only questionable aspect of this transaction was that the long, somewhat flimsy box came with a Shofar rolling around in it. It had just a little bubble wrap on the mouth piece area. Mine wasn't damaged at all but I think it could have been had the handling been too rough.
