- Ikar Shira is B’Peh, so the instrument isn't necessary for the Avoda.
- Ikar Shira is B’Kli, making this horn a necessity, which gives us reason to be Maikel, to do the Avoda in the best possible way.
- Even through Ikar Shira is B’Kli, the instrument underwent a Shinoi from the way that it was worshipped.
- Even though Ikar Shira is B’Kli, this isn't the only instrument; the Mitzva strictly speaking is fulfilled with the other instruments.
