    I do not know the technical name for the material of which a Ram's Horn is made of; however, I would like to know how one can work with it so as to form it in various shapes and lengths.

    I am interested in making a musical horn called the Shofar and I need to straighten the tip of the Ram's horn and then shape the tip into the specifications of a trumpet mouthpiece.

    Could someone please inform how to work with this material, what tools are needed and what processes are used to soften this material, etc?

    Thanks for any suggestions.
