| Laura Sherlock used to be a professional musician, playing the sackbut, a form of early trombone, in ensembles around the world. |
| He and his fellows sound the sackbut, whose notes are more doleful than the notes of other music are. |
| In one place he is merely called a Minstrel, but in the other he is specifically described as a sackbut. |
| Testifying to the place it occupies in Buxtehude's vocal works are the virtuoso passages he wrote for it and the sackbut. |
| Changes in the electrical voltage changed the sounds produced by the sackbut. |
| The sackbut answered the need for a lower-pitched trumpet that composers of the time sought. |
