[Avodah] Shofar on Yom Kippur - Muktzah?

[Moshe Yehuda Gluck via Avodah]

Rabbosai, is the shofar on Yom Kippur muktzah (as a kli she'melachto
l'issur) and we use it after Ne'ilah l'tzorech gufo so it's mutar in tiltul
then? Or, is it not muktzah the entire Yom Kippur because it's muttar to use
after Ne'ilah, so it's muchan for the entire day?

I have always presumed that by the time Neilah is over, it is late enough that we don't need to worry about Hilchos Muktzeh. Are you making a distinction between the time that the shofar is blown, vs. a few seconds earlier when it is picked up?

I'd also focus on your words, "we use it after Ne?ilah l?tzorech gufo". I will concede that it is mutar to handle a kli shemelachto l'issur for a purpose which is l'tzorech gufo. However, that presumes that you will be using this object (which is *normally* used in a manner which is a melacha) in a manner which is NOT a melacha. For example, one may pick up a hammer in order to crack a nut, but one may NOT pick up a hammer in order to hammer a nail. So too, the heter of "l'tzorech gufo" cannot be used to allow the actual *blowing* of the shofar.

Shabbos/Yomtov continues in full force until one says "baruch hamavdil"
or "ata chonantanu".

The tekiah after Neilah is permitted, so in this case "letzorech gufo"
means its normal use. Similarly if there were a case when hammering a
nail was permitted on Shabbos, one would be allowed to carry a hammer
letzorech gufo to do this permitted hammering.

Of course not. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
First one must have a heter to blow, then one may handle the shofar
in order to do so. The heter is that it's a minhag to blow. Blowing
shofar on Shabbos is only forbidden in the first place because of uvdin
dechol, so it doesn't take much to permit it.
