How Long can you blow shofar for?

My tekiah gedolah is longer than your tekiah gedolah.

I can do 90 seconds easy.

I get annoyed when the baal tokeah does like 20 seconds total ;)

What's your longest tekiah?

Obviously non-stop. A full regimen of 100 "blows" takes about 10-15 minutes.

You are exhaling non-stop for 90 seconds? Am I missing something?

Yes, a tekiah needs to be non-stop.

It only has to be a few seconds, no need for 90.

I have a friend who could blow literally non stop! using the circuler breathing method

Quote
Circular breathing is a technique used by players of some wind instruments to produce a continuous tone without interruption. It is accomplished by breathing in through the nose while simultaneously pushing air out through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks.

Ok as usually I am totally confused. What exactly are you doing for 90 seconds? Explain it as if I went to a PS.  ;)

If your 90 seconds sounds like that, it doesn't count. ;)

I wasn't getting into a Halachik discussion, I just didn't think it sounded good.
LOL! I agree.
