What is an Easy Blow Rams Horn Shofar?
According to our manufacturer out of Israel, rams horns shofars are normally straightened on the end to give the shofar horn a very long, slender, elegant shape (as shown in the shofar pictured on the right, below) with a slight widening or flaring out at the mouthpiece of the shofar. Sometimes rams horns break during this process, and they must be cut off where the shofar horn is wider. When this happens, the broken shofar is saved by drilling it out and forming a wider mouthpiece. Sometimes these wider shofar mouthpieces are easier to play, but when you look at the shofars from the mouthpiece end, they lose some of their beauty (as shown in the shofar pictured on the left, below). Because the shofar has no flare to them, they are just cut straight off. A traditional shofar mouthpiece flares out, giving it a natural beauty.
