Glaur (instrument)

A glaur was a short curved valved horn, popular among bards in the Realms. It was similar to a cornucopia and sounded like a trumpet.

Description
The glaur was a more versatile instrument than other trumpets. Its sound was brash and metallic. Glaurs made of brass, silver and electrum were available for purchase through Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue.

A variant of the glaur without the valves was called a gloon and had a more mournful sound.
