Which instrument is a precursor to the trombone?

The instrument that preceded the trombone in history is actually the trumpet. However, it's not the trumpet you see today. Trumpets made from animal horns, shells, and hollow bones date way back to 3000 BC. Trumpets were found in King Tut's tomb. The Romans and Greeks used trumpets. By the early 15th century, innoators found that they could cut a straight trumpet in two and then, by fitting the two sections together in a telescoping fashion, create a horn that could change its fundamental pitch. The slide trumpet was born. By the mid 15th century, we find the now familiar curved parallel-tube that became the trombone.

What is a medieval trumpet called?

The medieval trumpet you're thinking of would be the Herald Trumpet. It was a natural horn and could only play notes that would be considered "open valve" on today's modern trumpets. In the late 1800's, the cornet was invented. It was like a bugle, but it had valves and slides. A little while later and the cornet was elongated to make the first modern trumpet. Clarion
