For the Shofar to be "Kosher" that is to maintain it's pure form as a 100% shofar, it has to be kept in it's original state....no holes, no metal, no cracks, no plating, etc. There is an interpretation of ancient texts that the Shofarot used in Jericho (you know where the walls were blown down) metal was used either at the mpc area, bell or both; however, this is not observed today.

| This morning, someone who heard me play the Shofar at the Kotel, asked me if he could video me playing it for the internet site that he was developing; so, you might get to see and hear me play the shofar very soon. Liad Bar-EL |

| So far, the company that did the recording only sent me a still picture which I hope will soon be posted as my avatar. It is hoped that the company will publish and send me a copy of the video. Liad Bar-EL |

| The Shofar Liad, I'm interested in buying a shofar, and could use some advice. I tried one for the first time a few days ago. It was strange. I could get one note to play with a full tone - very resonant, but anything else was a squeek. There seemed to be no partials even though I had no trouble buzzing much higher than the fundamental. The shofar was small, about 10 inches, and the owner couldn't play it at all. So nobody knew what it was capable of. Is there such a thing as a one-note shofar, or is it me? Somewhere I read your suggestion to buy a very long shofar, and it makes sense. However, I'm reluctant for 3 reasons: cost, smell and style. The first is obvious. For the second, I've heard from several sources that longer ones don't clean out as well and therefore smell bad. Any comment? As for style, it's just that I don't want to be the new guy with the biggest toy, like a beginner cyclist with all the gear for the Tour de France (or an average high school trumpeter with a Monette  ). It sets expectations too high, and people are bound to laugh even harder if I mess up with the biggest shofar around.So what should I look for in a shofar of 18-24 inches? Are there different "mouthpieces?" Thanks. Sam |
