2) Shevus -

Is blowing Shofar when it is not for the sake of the Mitzvah, a Shevus (a Melachah-like activity prohibited on Yom Tov)? Is this a concern, a. for a woman who wishes to blow Shofar for herself; b. for a man who has already fulfilled the Mitzvah and now wishes to blow Shofar for a woman?
