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.
Terminological history
The first reference to a slide instrument was probably trompette des ménestrels, first found in Burgundy in the 1420s and later in other regions of Europe. The name distinguished the instrument from the trompettes de guerre (war trumpets), which were of fixed length.
The next word to appear in the 15th century that implied a slide was the sackbut group of words. There are two theories for the sources: it is either derived from the Middle French sacquer (to pull) and bouter (to push) or from the Spanish sacar (to draw or pull) and bucha (a tube or pipe). The term survives in numerous English spelling variations including sacbut, sackbutte, sagbut, shagbolt, sacabushe and shakbusshe.
