This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Apito''', which is the Portuguese word for "[[whistle]]", refers to any of a variety of whistles.

== Purpose ==
The apito de samba ("samba whistle") is used during performances of [[samba]]. In a [[samba school]], the apito de samba plays a crucial role because during these performances, the mestre de bateria – the "band leader" – uses the whistle to signal transitions to the band. These transitions could include changes in timbre or rhythmic pattern.<ref name=":0">((Cite book|title = Brazilian Percussion Manual: Rhythms and Techniques with Application for the Drum Set|last = Sabanovich|first = Daniel|publisher = Alfred Publishers|year = 1994|location = Van Nuys, CA))</ref> The origins of the apito are undoubtedly a fairly simple instrument, but has developed as a standard today into a whistle capable of giving three notes. The LP Tri-Tone Samba Whistle shown here has its origins in Brazilian music but has become a standard in today's dance music as well. It has three distinct, complementary tones that are achieved by placing fingers over the side chamber holes in various combinations.<ref>((cite web|title = Percussion Clinic Adelaide – Instrument Encyclopedia – Latin Percussion|url = http://www.percussionclinic.com/infolat.htm|website =Percussionclinic.com|access-date = 2015-10-01|first = Jim|last = McCarthy))</ref>

The rhythms played on apitos de samba are endless and often change throughout a [[batucada]] performance.

Outside Brazil, especially in [[Europe]], the samba whistle is also used as a [[rhythm instrument]]. This part is not necessarily done by the band leader.

[[File:Maracas & Trillerpfeife.ogg|thumb|Samba whistle and maracas]]
The samba whistle is easy to learn, so it is also a suitable toy musical instrument for children. In samba music, the samba whistle is a perfect supplement for the [[maracas]]. This requires very loud maracas so the whistle does not drown them out.

== Types of apitos ==
Samba band leaders can choose to either play a single-tone apito – common referee whistle –  or a tri-tone apito. Apitos were traditionally made of wood, but now most are made of metal. The whistle is a chamber that has a small ball or dowel rod inside.<ref name=":0" /> When one blows air through the mouthpiece, the small ball or dowel rod moves around the chamber and hits its sides.

== Sound characteristics ==
Since, the apito de samba has a small ball or dowel rod that hits the sides of the whistle's chamber, this instrument creates a loud and shrill sound, which is useful in a samba school because the sound can be heard over the playing of the band. However one can manipulate the sound of the whistle by changing the speed at which one is blowing air through the instrument and by changing one's [[embouchure]].

Audio example of variations in apito de samba can be found online.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.soundsnap.com/node/16841|title=Wistle Samba Variations &#124; Soundsnap|website=Soundsnap.com|access-date=20 April 2021))</ref>

Sound of a wood samba whistle can be also heard online (1:46 – 2:08).<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeWvfeqzxbw|title=Objetos da Floresta: Apitos|access-date=20 April 2021|publisher=[[YouTube]]))</ref>

=== Single-tone vs tri-tone apitos ===
Band leaders using single-tone apitos can choose to hold the instrument between their teeth and create signals with both the whistle and their hands to conduct.  Band leaders with tri-tone apitos hold the instrument with one hand and can use the other hand to conduct.

Tri-tone apitos have three holes – one on the top, one on the left, and one on the right. One can manipulate the pitch being played by covering either or both of the holes on the sides of the instrument using a thumb and/or index finger.<ref>((Cite book|title = Dicionário de percussão|last = Frungillo|first = Mario|publisher = UNESP|year = 2003))</ref> Covering none of the holes creates the highest pitch, while covering either of the two side holes creates the middle pitch, and covering both side holes creates the apito’s lowest pitch<ref>((cite web|title = Samba patterns for Apito|url = https://kkfsamba2014.wordpress.com/2014/10/01/samba-patterns-for-apito/|website =Kkfsamba2014| date=October 2014 |access-date = 2015-09-27))</ref>
