Authentic Ram Horn Shofar from Israel, Clear Sound, Half Polished, 10''-12''

Perfect shofar for a nice sound. Easy to blow. Light to carry. Very pleased.

Was greatly pleased with the Shofar. Displayed it on the bookshelf and others are curious about how it was used. I love it.

Takes a special skill to get any noise out of it

beautiful, what a treasure!

Took off one star because the product image is misleading; horn is only one color, not two. Mine is whitish-yellowish. Pretty, yes, but not striped like the one in the photo. I don't really care; but it's slightly dishonest. It is half-polished, as advertised. Does indeed measure ~14.5 inches around the larger curve. Just shy of 10 inches measuring straight from end to end; wider end is between two and three inches. Use: It works. You have to be able to buzz your lips to make noise (which is NOT the same thing as going "phbphbphb" like a tween girl sighing dramatically), but it's really not that hard if you can buzz your lips. The mouthpiece may be a bit small for some people (but I'm no expert so maybe it actually wouldn't cause problems). Comparison to my conch shell, just because I can: Roughly as hard as my conch shell to blow; maybe slightly harder. The mouthpiece is somewhat more jagged than my conch shell (bear in mind I cut the mouthpiece on my conch shell myself, with a hacksaw). It's not a spiky mouthpiece or anything, just a little rough. Sound: Higher pitched than I expected. I think the lower note is approximately middle C (but that will vary by shofar, obviously). The higher note sounds pretty silly, at least in my opinion. Smell: I expected a smell. There is no smell. My nose isn't great, but the smell can't be THAT bad if I can't detect it at all. Supposedly they're ALWAYS supposed to smell horrible. This one doesn't. Overall: good product; be aware that these things don't work if you can't buzz your lips.

Love this Shofar. My friend has a huge one. She blows it after preaching.

There's a learning curve but now that I can make it work, I love it!
