This from Wikipedia:

 

The sackbut is a trombone <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombone>  from the
Renaissance <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_music>  and Baroque
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque_music>  eras, i.e., a musical
instrument <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_instrument>  in the brass
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_instrument>  family similar to the
trumpet <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trumpet>  except characterised by a
telescopic slide with which the player varies the length of the tube to
change pitches <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_(music)> , thus allowing
them to obtain chromaticism
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatonic_and_chromatic> , as well as easy and
accurate doubling <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_(music)>  of
voices. More delicately constructed than their modern counterparts, and
featuring a softer, more flexible sound
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbre_(music)> , they attracted a more
sizeable repertoire <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_repertoire> [
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed> citation needed] of
original chamber <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamber_music>  and vocal
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_music>  music than many instruments
contemporary with them.
