Thanks for responding. The shofar I have is an actual ram's horn and I'd say it's something like 36''. I can get lots of partials from it but as you say it is hard to get the lips oriented to the small "mouthpiece". What have you tried to get a dependable sound? Do you know if there "traditional" melodies or forms?
