Instruments of Royal Praise

Commentators explain that the "trumpets" and "cornet" (shofar) were specific, significant instruments. The straight, silver trumpet was often used to convene formal assemblies, while the curved ram's horn (shofar) was used for major proclamations. Their use here signifies a formal, majestic celebration fit for royalty.
