Never
buy a Shofar based only on it being Small, Medium,
Large, or X-Large. Always find out how many inches
a size represents.
Example: Small = 26-29", Medium =
30-33", Large = 34-38", etc.
Without a number of inches being assigned to a
size, you could get almost anything.
Example: You order an X-Large, and you receive
a 33" Shofar. Without dimensions discussed
up front, you got what you ordered - an X-Large.
-
The
standard measurement for Shofars in the U.S. is
around the curve. A 49" Shofar will measure
49" around the curve, not from tip to tip.
-
Generally, the larger the Yemenite Shofar, the larger
the mouthpiece will be so the easier it will be
to play and the more notes or tones you will be
able to play.
- The
smaller the mouthpiece, the harder it will be to
play. Many people make the mistake of buying the
smallest ones as something to start with and have
a very hard time trying to learn how to play because
of the small mouthpiece. It is actually easier to
learn on the bigger Shofars with the bigger mouthpieces.
