Are shofars that the Jewish people use different in sounds?

I believe there’s one strict standard. They were traditionally made with a ram’s horn; doubt that they still are. They are used in the Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur services to produce certain distinct sounds so I think they all have to be made to sound the same.

The size will affect the frequency, but the harmonics are all very similar.

Well this one certainly isn’t the usual type.

@Pseudonym Ha1 Ha!

Shofars are usually made from rams horns. Every horn will be different both in terms of size and structure. That means they will all have different pitches and harmonics.

They were originally war horns. Most of the calls are based on those roots. In essence though, they are no different from any other horn. I think they are very similar to dijeridus in terms of how they came to exist. They also play fairly similarly, except for the size. Kind of like a trumpet vs a tuba.

Here’s a nice example
