That the shofar is hollow hints to the fact that it is an "ohr makif", a surrounding light (to 7 tachtonos of bina). As the breath within the shofar comes out as an atmosphere of life, as air surrounds us (and as blown into Adam the breath of life...). This air is blown out from the reddened "apples" of the cheeks as they fill with the breath blown into the shofar. Sweetening the bitterness.
