Trombones and Sackbut FAQs

Trombones and sackbut: what’s the difference?

Sackbuts are 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.

Why is trombone so important?

["The trombone is considered to be an incredibly important brass instrument in modern orchestras, brass ensembles and brass bands; balancing the high notes of the trumpet with the other instruments."]

What sound does the sackbut make?

["Although it may sound ironic, when pushed, the sackbut can easily make a loud and brassy sound, yet is also considered to respond well to soft playing - more than a modern trombon"]
