I JUST RECEIVED MY VERY OWN SHOFAR AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! But when I went to BLOW it...It sounded like I was DYING OF BREATH...LORD HELP ME TO LEARN TO PLAY THIS SO I CAN HONOR YOU!!!
I can totally relate to you! Not only it sounds like am dying, my technique cannot be correct as I feel like am dying from out of breathe too, God help me!
Alistair . thank you so much for this video. My HH Shofar blower came down with a respiratory condition and cannot blow... I have sent your video to a young TUBA Player so that he can prepare to be the Rosh Hashana "understudy." Your breakdown is PERFECT!
Shalom Alistair thank you for the Lesson how to play the Shofar I'm too Learning how to play this beautiful instrument I bought a Yemenite Kudu Shofar and I'm happy to Learn how to play it is my inspiration to Honor Jeshua 👑my King and my God Amen may Hashem Adonai bless you and your family 🙋and again thank you👏👏👏
Hi I came to your website when I wanted to learn to blow the shofar a year ago and now I want to do it again and I really enjoy the way you do it. I did not do it this year because we joined a new shule but next year I'll ask to do it.
FORTY ONE SECONDS, THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD, BUTTTTTTTTTTT IN MY MIND I CAN HOLD THAT NOTE FOR THREE AND ONE HALF MINUTES, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, BLOW THE SOFAR WITH YOUR MIND, NOT YOUR LUNGS (NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU, BUT IT SURE IS FUN AND A LOT LESS CANCE OF PASSING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD VIDEO - THANKS FOR THE INFO AND GOOD PLAYING ON THE SHOFAR - BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, one question: surely, like brass instruments, the whole series of overtones may be achieved on the shofar with the requisite skill? In other words, the first note (tonic) and second (dominant) that you played may be followed (with great difficulty, but followed nonetheless - at least in theory) by the octave above the first note, and so on and so on (in accordance with Pythagoras' division of a sound? p.s. nice playing by the way!! now I want a Shofar!!!
You are correct, theoretically. But the shofar isn't perfectly formed like a brass instrument, and I think that inhibits some overtones even if you are skillful. I can get three notes out of mine, including one octave below the low note in the video. I have heard someone do the octave the first note in the video. But I don't think you're going to be playing any Dizzy Gillespie tunes, no matter how good you are.
May Yahweh bless y'all and keep y'all. May Yahweh shine His face onto y'all and be gracious to y'all. May Yahweh show favor to y'all and grant y'all peace. Shalom er'body!
Now, this can be used as an awesome war horn! I will lead the charge courageously into battle! HUZZAH! >:O I'm curious though... You hold the horn with two hands. Is it possible to play the instrument with only one and have your other hand partake is something else?
Hi Mr Cohen, I have a small rams horn Shofar and a large Kudu Shofar but I note you said you can only get 2 notes from it. Do you mean there is only 2 notes you should play when blowing it. I ask because I am a trombone player can easily get 3 notes from the large one.
The shofar is also used for spiritual warfare in the bible, & is a musical cry to the Lord God. Several times in the bible when the shofar was blown, God would rescue His people by confusing their enemies & they would overcome them & defeat them. Another time the walls of Jericho fell when God told them to sound the trumpet (shofar), & again they overcame their enemies. This is a great weapon for spiritual warfare, as led by the Holy Spirit. Especially fitting for intercessors.
I play the trombone and have a small shofar where it flattens out a bit at the mouthpiece. which is easier to make sound? Because I am having lots of trouble getting sound out of it despite prior experience
I didn’t know it only has two pitches... high and low. I just purchased one and I’m blowing it all ready. I heard that they should be blown on the right side??? I found the sound consistently on the left side of my lips. Should I keep trying to make a sound from the left side of my lips? Thank you for this video!
Shalom brother; I counted 67 when you did that last horn blow...My Grandad passed down a bulls horn that he claimed had been in the Family& been trying to figure out if it might have had any Jewish importance!
@@my2cents49 I wasn't sure all I knew is that My Grandad had some lineage that were based in Countries that either had Jewish communities or most of the population could trace ancestry going back at some point to a Jewish family& sometimes My Grandad would Play the Bull Horn using 3-4 blasts it only got fewer than 3 the Older He got.
Thank you, Alistair. Exactly what I was looking for. I have a question: I'd like to get a shofar like they blew in my old shul. It was like the smaller one shown in the opening two examples. The opening for the mouth is small, flat and irregular. I'm wondering what it's like to blow one of those. It doesn't seem nearly as easy. Mendel in our shul had a heck of a time with that difficult opening. From year to year we never new whether he was going to get a decent sound never mind a note. When the takia didn't go well, he'd start shvitzing. Then we'd all start shvitzing for him. He blew from the side of his mouth; it seemed that that was the only way he could get a purchase on the irregularity and narrowness of the opening. I guess what I'm wondering is, are you able to use that raspberry, frontal method of blowing on the smaller shofar shown in your examples? Thanks again. I loved it.
Essentially, the larger the 'opening' the easier it is to play. I've been playing the trumpet since I was in school, so I've trained my lips to tighten and loosen as necessary to change the pitch of the note. Some people who aren't brass players find this difficult, so prefer to play out the side of their mouths and then use their hands to pull their lips tight, or loosen them, to make the different notes. So you can 'blow raspberries' with the front of your mouth even on small mouthpieces if your muscles will let you. No way is better than any other.
Greetings Mr. Cohen I came across this video to learn about the Shofar instrument but there is something troubling me. You see, I am a Buddhist and something I do is known as cosplay. Cosplay is the act of dressing up as fictional characters from things such as anime, cartoons, television shows and even video games. As a cosplayer and video gamer, I wanted to craft a Monster Hunter cosplay. Monster Hunter is a game series that has been around for 10 years and still going strong. The main point of the game is to go and hunt monsters. As part of the cosplay, I was hoping to use a horn. I came across the Shofar. Seeing the comments frightens me due to the fact that it is possible I may offend someone for using something related to Jewish culture for a purpose not related to it. If you have any further questions, you are free to ask.
Rams horns are essentially just early trumpets and were used by many groups as a means of sending a loud signal, not just the Jews. So (disclaimer: I'm not a religious authority or anything) using one in cosplay I'm sure is fine - maybe just add some elements to it to make it look less like a polished shofar and more like a part of the costume. Or, save some money, and buy a fake horn from a costume store as shofars tend to be reasonably expensive.
Alistair Cohen I came across a website a few days ago that were selling Shofar horns for around 20 dollars. It's most likely they were not real horns. Thank you for understanding. Also thank you for the video, now I will know how to use the Shofar and will likely have fun with it since I am a trumpet player. Have a pleasant day.
i personally am glad you are sensitive to this because may Jews and Christians believe this shofar was given to us in worship for Jehovah our living God. All respect to user we do believe there is only one living God who came to earth through Jesus Christ who is the Savior of the world for those who will receive them he came he lived he died for our sin he's now in heaven where we will be some day with them so we prayed to a living God when you blow the shofar you're in agreement with what we agreed to if you want further questions answered contact us personally at info@shofarcall.com thank you
lcjr Its very nice to be sensitive but as someone else commented, it's more symbolic than deeply religious. So I'd say no one would be offended if you used a shofar for your costume versus any other type of rams horn you could find/buy yourself

OUR KING YAD HAI WAW HAI OUR WORSHIP ,OUR ALMIGHTY FATHER OF THE HEBREWS. THANKS FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS. This tekiah gadol is a weak but good version of what is written in 1Thessalonians 4:16. Thanks for sharing. Our FATHER THE ALMIGHTY YAD HAI WAW HAI COME QUICKLY as it is written in REVELATION 22.
i tried blowing a shofar once..it was the long kind of a kudu horn. dang near killed me after a second. but i think i see what i did wrong. i put the whole tip in my mouth like a straw. gave the rabbi a good laugh though grrr oh well. i will try again some day.
That's not all you need to know , the short shofar causes repentance in hardened hearts with prayer the spiritual warfare uses of the shofar are important to know as well as the one's used to worship in the holy feasts of YAHUWAH Yahshua
THAT WAS WAY LONGER THAN I COULD HOLD...I GET A FEW SOUND BUT NOT A STEADY FLOW,= / I JUST GOT ONE TO GLORIFY OUR FATHER GOD❣ PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF KINGS ISRAEL IS FOREVER AN FOREVER, AMEN
just found this which kind of answers my question: ua-cam.com/video/yBHqTHFwnAw/v-deo.html at about 8.45 a few more of the overtones can be heard. The longer the shofar, the lower the initial pitch (and probably easier to hit the high notes).
I would love to finish this video, but the background music is so loud that I cannot hear you. I got through about 30 seconds. Consider us older learners and turn down that delightful background tune. Todah!
While we are here, let us share the Love of the Spirit of the Father. The Messiah will pray to the Father, that we may have the Spirit of the Father, for a Teacher, and Comforter, Forever in the bible book of John, chapter 14, verse 26... Peters witness of the Last Supper, in John, chapter 14, is Acts, chapter 5, verses 29 through 33... Peace children
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
WTF. I have learnt something here today. Emily Hart brought me here. Gone from pissing my pants and normality to the shofar. omg. thank you though, if i should ever be invited to something jewish im gonna be all over that shofar. drum and bass it up a tad though perhaps. sort you people out with some proper drums. bangin.
That is one heck of a Tekiah Gedolah
I JUST RECEIVED MY VERY OWN SHOFAR AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! But when I went to BLOW it...It sounded like I was DYING OF BREATH...LORD HELP ME TO LEARN TO PLAY THIS SO I CAN HONOR YOU!!!
Congrays Ive got my own shofar, used in Easter vigil service, Father God told me to play high pitch bc it exhalts Him.
I can totally relate to you! Not only it sounds like am dying, my technique cannot be correct as I feel like am dying from out of breathe too, God help me!
@@Rafael_-ey7dyYour blowing in this video sounded AWESOME AND CLEAR!!! POWERFUL!!!!❤🎉❤
I sound like a dying cow. It's harder than it seems. Every now and then I'll hit it, but the different sounds... that's harder for me.
I am a experienced trumpet player, and when I got my hands on this amazing horn, it sounded amazing

Amazing how you hold the note for the last blast. You are a pro. Shana tova
I have a pocket sized shofar, used for nights out to summon my friends when I'm in a state of disrepair
Bea Frances effective as a rape alarm? Enemies grab their ears, run away, walls are demolished...
How do I get one to play a really deep sound?
@@Mayan2 usually that sound will come from longer/ narrow shofars.
That it is the coolest thing ever ! soo cool !
That's the best explanation and notation I've seen. THANK YOU!

Amazing wow ty
I have one with a mouthpiece how do I play that? ( mouthpiece is metal )
Enola Joefield Principal is same. With mouthpiece its just easier.
Torah says to blow it every single Sabbath, so I had to buy a couple of them and that's what brought me to you. 🕊️🎶📯
Can you tell me where it says that? Thanks!

Is it okay to blow the shofar at the beginning of the Feast of Tabernacle celebration...we do this every year..thanks
What happens if the person blowing the shofar goes off note during the prayer? Do they just replay the note until they get it right?
I just got a shofar for my birthday last April. I Love it but I am having a little trouble blowing because I have braces. Will that affect anything?
I cant blow my shofar! No matter how much I try. Is there a place I can go to learn x
My shofar has a small flat opening at the mouthpiece. It is very difficult to blow.
Have you tried turning or twisting the shofar? The mouth peice hole should be vertical.

This tekiah gadol is a weak but good version of what is written in
1Thessalonians 4:16.
Thanks for sharing.
Our FATHER THE ALMIGHTY
YAD HAI WAW HAI
COME QUICKLY as it is written in
REVELATION 22.
i tried blowing a shofar once..it was the long kind of a kudu horn. dang near killed me after a second. but i think i see what i did wrong. i put the whole tip in my mouth like a straw. gave the rabbi a good laugh though grrr oh well. i will try again some day.
Is he just blowing or making a sound while blowing
That's not all you need to know , the short shofar causes repentance in hardened hearts with prayer the spiritual warfare uses of the shofar are important to know as well as the one's used to worship in the holy feasts of YAHUWAH Yahshua
THAT WAS WAY LONGER THAN I COULD HOLD...I GET A FEW SOUND BUT NOT A STEADY FLOW,= /
I JUST GOT ONE TO GLORIFY OUR FATHER GOD❣
PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF KINGS
ISRAEL IS FOREVER AN FOREVER, AMEN
just found this which kind of answers my question:
ua-cam.com/video/yBHqTHFwnAw/v-deo.html
at about 8.45 a few more of the overtones can be heard. The longer the shofar, the lower the initial pitch (and probably easier to hit the high notes).
Wow
I thought all commnities do the Tekia Gadolah until breath fails?
I would love to finish this video, but the background music is so loud that I cannot hear you. I got through about 30 seconds. Consider us older learners and turn down that delightful background tune. Todah!
While we are here, let us share the Love of the Spirit of the Father. The Messiah will pray to the Father, that we may have the Spirit of the Father, for a Teacher, and Comforter, Forever in the bible book of John, chapter 14, verse 26... Peters witness of the Last Supper, in John, chapter 14, is Acts, chapter 5, verses 29 through 33... Peace children
This isn't a Christian custom. 🙄🙄🙄
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins!
HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Wow das a long תקועה גדולה

No offense, but why do I need that?
WTF. I have learnt something here today. Emily Hart brought me here. Gone from pissing my pants and normality to the shofar. omg. thank you though, if i should ever be invited to something jewish im gonna be all over that shofar. drum and bass it up a tad though perhaps. sort you people out with some proper drums. bangin.
Great! thank you Time to blow
Where do you get your rams horn?
Mine were inherited from my family but I just left an Amazon link in the description if you wanted to buy your own.
I still can't blow my shofar to save my life. It's just a tad smaller than the one in this demonstration.
Thank you. I thought a cow horn could also be a shofar, then no !
I was really scared you were gonna pass out.
