A trombone
tomba a Greek word
A trombone is a trumpet-based instrument with a slide to achieve different notes. It is a member of the brass family and has been known since medieval times. A tromboon is created by replacing the mouthpiece of the trombone with the reed and bocal of a bassoon.
The trombone originated as a tenor trumpet, to which a slide was added in medieval times to give the "sackbut" or "sagbutt". The earliest surviving sackbuts are roughly 15th century. In more modern times, the lather bracing of the sackbut was replaced with metal struts and the bore and bell widened to give the modern trombone.
