How to Blow Your Norse Tradesman Viking War Horn?Updated a minute ago

What You Need to Know:

* This is a real ox horn, hand-carved to look and sound like the ones Vikings used in battle.

* It works by buzzing your lips —like playing a trumpet, not like blowing a whistle.


📣 How to Blow It (Step-by-Step)

1. **Buzz Your Lips**

   * Say “M” and keep your lips tight at the corners, loose in the middle.

   * Blow air through your lips so they vibrate (buzz). Practice this without the horn first.

2. **Hold the Horn Right**

  * Grab the narrow end of the horn.

   * Press it lightly against your lips, not inside your mouth.

   * Point the wide end slightly upward.

3. **Make the Sound**

   * Buzz your lips into the horn.

   * If no sound comes out, adjust your lips or horn position and try again.

   * Keep air from escaping the sides of your mouth.


4. **Change the Pitch**

   * Tighter lips + faster air = higher sound.

   * Looser lips + slower air = deeper sound.

   * Bigger horns usually make deeper sounds.


5. **Play Short Notes (Optional)**

   * Click your tongue on the roof of your mouth while blowing to make short, choppy notes like “ta-ta-ta.”

🧼 Care Tips

* Wipe with a damp cloth—don’t soak in water.

* Keep it dry and out of sunlight.

* If it has a wood mouthpiece, you can apply food-safe wax sometimes.


🛡️Final Tip

Blowing the horn takes practice! Don’t worry if you don’t get it right away—keep buzzing and you’ll get the hang of it.

Skål! 🍻
