Yes. Widening a Shofar mouthpiece is accomplished by grinding out the existing Shofar mouthpiece to its widest possible point without actually cutting or reshaping the Shofar mouthpiece. Shofar Mouthpiece customization requires the shortening of the Shofar by about one inch, then regrinding the Shofar mouthpiece and shaping it like the inside of a mouthpiece on a brass trumpet. It is bowled out to give plenty of space for the lips to fit completely in the Shofar mouthpiece.
