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 44.197.0.0/16 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 10:52, 20 August 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:piston oboes.jpg|thumb|Left: a classical oboe by Harry Vas Dias.<br />Center: a 'piston' oboe by Youenn Le Bihan.<br />Right: a "hautbois rustique" oboe by Hervieux & Glet.]]

The '''piston''' ([[Breton language|Breton]]: '''pistoñ''', English phonetic "pist-on") is a type of oboe invented by Breton musician, teacher, and luthier Youenn Le Bihan in 1983.<ref>((cite web|url=http://texcelt.org/BombardeFAQ.html |title=Bombarde FAQ |publisher=Texcelt.org |date= |accessdate=2014-04-10))</ref> The pistoñ is a contemporary development of the [[hautbois]], classical and/or [[baroque oboe]], influenced by the [[bombard (music)|bombard]] or talabard, the traditional double reed instrument of Brittany. It is typically rooted in the key of D and features post-mounted simple system key-work to expand its range. The tone of the pistoñ stands in a warm and rich middle ground between the trumpet-like tone of the bombard and that of the baroque [[oboe]]. The bore is similar to that of a baroque or classical oboe.

The pistoñ uses a fairly stiff reed based on cane of an approximate diameter of 12mm, very similar in size to those of the [[Bass oboe|baritone oboe]] (approximately 9&nbsp;mm in width at the tip), English horn and baroque oboe. Unlike these other oboes, however, the pistoñ reed's brass staple resembles that of the conservatoire oboe, having a cork outer layer and a cylindrical (as opposed to conical) shape to fit into the reed well of the instrument, therefore requiring neither thread to wrap the staple nor a bocal for it to fit into.
 
Since its debut by Mr. Le Bihan with groups such as Gwerz and Skolvan,<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.skolvan.com |title=Skolvan |publisher=Skolvan |date= |accessdate=2014-04-10))</ref> use of the pistoñ has slowly expanded in popularity in traditional groups associated with the "[[fest noz]]" dance culture, typically accompanied by instruments such as fiddle, guitar, traverso flute, and accordion. Some other musicians who have recorded  with the pistoñ are the group Koun (pistoñ: Josik Allot), Tud (instruments and music by Eric Ollu), and Penn Gollo (pistoñ: Jean-Claude Petit).

Initially Mr. Le Bihan was the only maker of the instrument, and he made them on only a very limited basis. Other makers soon filled the void, however, and instruments by makers such as Hervieux & Glet,<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.hervieuxglet.com |title=HERVIEUX & GLET : le site Web |publisher=Hervieuxglet.com |date= |accessdate=2014-04-10))</ref> Jean-Luc Ollivier<ref>[http://bombarde-biniou-sonorisation-luthier.axonemusique.com/] ((dead link|date=May 2023))</ref> and Eric Ollu <ref>((cite web|url=http://ericollu.com |title=player of traditional music from Brittany |publisher=Eric Ollu |date= |accessdate=2014-04-10))</ref> began to fill the pistoñ role as well. Mr. Ollu objects strenuously to the use of the term "pistoñ". As he states on his website (translated): "I always call the instrument by its real name; oboe or baroque oboe. I suppose I could call it an Olluphone, tromblophone or some other fantastic name. Why in Brittany and only in Brittany do people call a Baroque oboe a pistoñ? One can only wonder that information available since the fifteenth century has not yet been received! Why give the name of a brass instrument to a woodwind?" (In French, ''piston'' occurs as a shortened form of ''[[:fr:cornet à pistons|cornet à pistons]]'', the instrument known in English as a [[cornet]].)

While Mr. Ollu might market his instruments as baroque oboes, the pistoñ differs from the baroque or classical oboe in several ways beyond the differences in reeds and keywork mentioned above. Changes in the size and placement of the finger holes have produced changes in the fingerings used to produce the notes F and F#, allowing very rapid passages to be played in E minor without the use of forked fingerings. The pistoñ is also tuned to concert standard [[A440 (pitch standard)|A440]] tuning rather than a historically-based tuning scheme such as A=415 or 430. Altogether these developments highlight the pistoñ oboe as an evolving instrument intended to play a contemporary popular music, rather than recreate music and performance from the remote past.
