Luo’go (It.)

Same as Loco, Lur (Danish, from Old Norse /udr, a hollowed piece of wood.) 1. A unique pre-historic wind-instr. of bronze (alloy of copper 88.90%, tin 10.61%, nickel and iron 0.498), numerous well-preserved specimens of which have been found, but oy in Denmark, southern Sweden, and Mecklenburg. The long, slender, exactly conical tube, varying in length from 5 ft. to 7 ft. 93 in, forms a sweeping, graceful curve (forward from the player's lips, upward and backward over his left shoulder, and forward again over his head), and terminates with a broad circular flat plate (about roin. in diam.) in lieu of a flaring bell. This plate is ornamented with bo es in front, and on the rear with several small bronze ta els, depending loosely. The Lur has a cupped mouthpiece, shallower and more nearly V-shaped than that of the trombone. LUSINGANDO The tone is powerful and mellow—2. The modern Lur, of Norway and Sweden, is usually made of birch barls, and is allied to the Swi alp-horn. Lusingan’do,
