sackbut
n.
medieval wind instrument resembling the trombone; (Biblical) ancient stringed musical instrument
Sackbut
A
sackbut or
shakbusse is a type of
trombone from the
Renaissance and
Baroque eras, characterised by a telescopic slide that is used to vary the length of the tube to change
pitch. Unlike the earlier
slide trumpet from which it evolved, the sackbut possesses a
double slide, which allows for playing scales in a lower range. Sackbuts adjust tuning at the joint between the bell and slide. The sackbut differs from modern trombones by its smaller, more cylindrically-proportioned bore, its less-flared bell, and in the lack of a leadpipe,
water key, slide lock, and tuning slide on the bell curve.
