From what I have researched, the smaller sizes of Shofars, like the 16", were easily transported by sticking them in the belt of soldiers. These were the sounds of alarm and for communicating with each other. The impressively long Shofars were used by those who did not travel much - leaders. I can imagine David with a 16" Shofar in his belt as he cared for the sheep and as he fled Saul. As Christians, we are in the Army of the Lord. how appropriate to have a Shofar of the size carried by Hebrew soldiers in times past.

I don't believe that the holder should be the relevance that you look at when purchasing a Shofar, a 27in should do wonders for you. It is very easy to use. I did my research to find oout how it is blown and when. It's awesome...Awesome weapon in my arsenal of praise and worship and spiritual warfare...

The holders for the shofars (CBD Stock Numbers: WW452290 and WW452940) indicate which sizes they fit best.
Most people who buy shofars use them as decoration; because of their genuine construction, they do require practice and acquired skill to play adequately.
It is possible to find some instruction on how to play them online.
There are two major factors which determine the ease of use.
The first is diameter of the mouth piece, and the second is the length of the horn.
The wider the hole in the mouth piece the easier they are to blow through, but sometimes the wider hole is less aesthetically pleasing.
Very short horns are harder to make sound, but very long horns are harder to blow through.
