When is a chip or flaw in a Shofar (that does not go all the way through) a problem?

 

Question:

It is not clear to me when a chip or flaw in a Shofar (that does not go all the way through) is a problem. I have attached a photo of a very small chipped part of my Shofar near the mouthpiece. Is this a problem for the Mitzvah on Rosh Hashana? Or does something this minor not count as a chip?

 

Answer:

If it is not a hole or crack all the way through, it is Kosher.
