| | The Sackbut |
 | | The sackbut's versatility also derives from the fact that it could be played quietly enough to accompany solo voices, violins and even flutes, while the same instrument could accompany the shawms and cornetts in tower music and parades. | | | Such proto-sackbuts were to be heard all over Europe in the ceremonial bands of the great families, usually in partnership with a shawm and a bombard (alto shawm), an ubiquitous trio, often referred to as the alta capella. | | | The 17th century polymath Michael Praetorius described the sackbut as the "wind instrument par excellence in concerted music of any kind". |

| | Called sackbut (Spanish sacabuche, "pull-tube"), it was a favored instrument in church and chamber music. | | | Except for its thicker metal and narrower bell, which yielded a softer, mellower tone, the early trombone was basically identical to the modern one. | | | The instrument produced a soft sound that complemented the harpsichord, voice, viol, lute, recorder, and cornett. |

| | For outdoor music the top part of a sackbut ensemble was usually taken by a shawm, and for church music, by a cornett. | | | Thus today's marching band trombone blasts have no place in the performance of early music. | | | In the early seventeenth century the sackbut was considered an instrument of the virtuoso performer. |

| | The harmonic possibilities of the sackbut have been put to great use in the polychoral sacred music so typical of the Italian and German composers, as well as in conjuring up scenes of the spiritual underworld, for example, Monteverdi's l'Orfeo and Mozart's Don Giovanni. | | | This instrument is a musical hybrid, crossing a woodwind instrument's body with a brass instrument's mouthpiece. | | | The great Renaissance masters such as Monteverdi, Schütz and Gabrieli, all wrote virtuosic parts for the cornett and embody the high esteem in which the instrument was held. |
