∙ 14y agoThe sackbut was the ancestor of the modern trombone. It had a smaller bell, lacking the flare of the more recognizable, common instrument, and because of that design element, it didn't have the projection or power of tone, was softer and more mellow in its sound. It was used in Renaissance and Baroque era music, and it was not then a member of the consort or orchestra but used to accompany choirs and voice.
