At nuLime.com we primarily offer such musical horns as the shofar, which is a magnificent musical horn that was developed by the ancient Hebrews. This was never a folk instrument nor considered a classical instrument. It was, and still is, a ceremonial item. It was used during holy rites, to call assembly or signal a sacrifice. The shofar was also used in battle. The ancient Hebrews used the shofar as a call to war. They believed that the sound would panic their enemies. The sound of the shofar also announced the Jubilee year.

The shofars offered by nuLime.com are one piece in the shape of the kudu long horn. They are approximately 41 inches in length with curl. The tips of the horns have been cut open to create the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is integral and the body is hollow along the entire length. Blowing into the tip produces the sound. The long hollow body of the horn amplifies the vibrations of the player's lips on the mouthpiece.

The synthetic horn offers a lighter weight instrument, which still has a great sound. The synthetic shofar is nice for children, animal lovers and the budget conscious.
