A shofar is a hollowed out horn of an animal that can be played as a wind instrument. It must come from an animal that has cloven hooves, but not from a cow. Typical shofars come from goats, sheep and their relatives. The horn needs to be at least long enough to hold in your fist with one end sticking out on each side, and it can't have a crack in it that prevents it from making a good toot when you blow it. You play a shofar the same way you play a trumpet, by buzzing into the little end with your lips.
