You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
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 54.161.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ 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 or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation 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 colocation provider'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 colocation 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 or colocation provider (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 or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests 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 10:07, 1 October 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.

[[Image:Neverlur.JPG|thumb|180px|right|A modern lur from Norway, made of wood wrapped in birch bark]]
A '''lur''', also '''lure''' or '''lurr''', is a long [[natural horn|natural blowing horn]] without finger holes that is played with a [[Embouchure#Brass embouchure|brass-type embouchure]]. Lurs can be straight or curved in various shapes. The purpose of the curves was to make long instruments easier to carry (e.g. for marching, like the modern [[sousaphone]]) and to avoid directing the loud noise at nearby people.

The name '''lur''' is used for two distinct types of ancient [[wind instrument]]s. The more recent type is made of [[wood]] and was in use in [[Scandinavia]] during the [[Middle Ages]]. The older type, named after the more recent type, is made of [[bronze]], dates to the [[Bronze Age]] and was often found in pairs, deposited in [[bog]]s, mainly in [[Denmark]] and [[Germany]]. It consists of a mouthpiece and several pieces and/or pipes.  Its length can reach between 1.5 and 2 metres. It has been found in [[Norway]], Denmark, [[South Sweden]], and Northern Germany. Illustrations of lurs have also been found on several [[rock paintings]] in Scandinavia.

==Wooden lurs==
((Main|Birch trumpet))

The earliest references to an instrument called the lur come from [[Iceland]]ic [[sagas]], where they are described as [[war]] instruments, used to marshal troops and frighten the enemy. These lurs, several examples of which have been discovered in [[longboat]]s, are straight, end-blown wooden tubes, around one metre long. They do not have finger holes, and are played much like a modern [[brass instrument]].

A kind of lur very similar to these war instruments has been played by [[farmer]]s and milkmaids in [[Nordic countries]] since at least the [[Middle Ages]].<ref>((Cite web|url=http://ojtrumpet.net/lur/wood/|title=The Wooden Lurs|website=ojtrumpet.net|access-date=2019-10-11))</ref> These instruments, called in English a [[birch trumpet]], were used for calling [[cattle]] and signalling. They are similar in construction and playing technique to the war instrument, but are covered in [[birch]], while the war instruments are covered in [[willow]].

==Bronze lurs==
Lurs made of bronze were used as musical instruments in ancient Greece, as well as in northern Europe where a total of 56 lurs have been discovered: 35 (including fragmentary ones) in [[Denmark]], 11 in [[Sweden]], 4 in [[Norway]], 5 in northern [[Germany]], and a single one in [[Latvia]].

==Lurs today==
The word ''lur'' is still in the [[Swedish language]], indicating any funnel-shaped implement used for producing or receiving sound. For instance, the Swedish word for [[headphones]] is ''hörlurar'' (hearing-lurs), and a [[telephone]] might be referred to as a ''lur'' in contemporary Swedish (derived from ''telefonlur'', telephone handset). The Norwegian and Swedish words for [[foghorn]] are respectively ''tåkelur'' and ''mistlur''. The Danish butter brand [[Lurpak]] is named after the lur, and the package design contains pictures of lurs.

The word ''lur'' has several other meanings in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish that are not related to sound.
