Answer:

Shofar

Step-by-step explanation:

Shofar is considered to be one of the oldest wind instruments.

The shofar does not produce delicate sounds, but for Jews, the shofar is not just a "musical" instrument. It is a traditionally sacred instrument.

In Jewish tradition, it recalls the ram sacrificed by Avraham (Abram) in place of Yitschac (Isaac) through the history of Akedá (Yitschac's mooring),

And, therefore, it is linked to the Mercy of God.

In ancient times, the shofar was used on solemn occasions. The word shofar is mentioned for the first time in connection with Divine Revelation on Mount Sinai, when "the voice of the shofar was too strong and the whole camp people trembled"

The shofar was also played during battles against dangerous enemies. Therefore, the shofar serves as a rallying cry against the enemy within, evil impulses and passions.
