The medieval ancestor of the modern Trombone is the "sackbut." This instrument, which emerged in the late 15th century, features a slide mechanism similar to that of the trombone, allowing for a range of pitches. Sackbuts were commonly used in both sacred and secular music during the Renaissance and early Baroque periods, paving the way for the development of the modern trombone.
A sackbut (also sacbut, sackbutt, sagbut, shagbolt, or shakbusshe) is a brass musical instrument, an ancestor of the modern trombone, similar to a slide trumpet.
The ancestor of the modern trombone is the "sackbut," a brass instrument that emerged in the late Middle Ages. The sackbut featured a telescoping slide mechanism similar to the trombone, allowing for pitch adjustments. It was commonly used in early music ensembles and has a softer, more mellow tone compared to contemporary trombones. Over time, the sackbut evolved into the modern trombone we know today, with improvements in design and construction.
One ancestor is an instrument called the serpent.
The word trombone derives from the Italian tromba and one (or ona). Tromba means trumpet, and one (or ona) means big. The Bb tenor trombone (or "big trumpet") is pitched one octave below the Bb trumpet, and its tubing length, at 108 inches, is twice as long as the tubing in a Bb trumpet.

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.
The vihuela de mano evolved into the guitar. The sackbut evolved into the trombone. The shawm evolved into the oboe.
