| Laura Sherlock used to be a professional musician, playing the sackbut, a form of early trombone, in ensembles around the world. |
| Raphael plays trombone and sackbut, composes and arranges when he can, and teaches. |
| He and his fellows sound the sackbut, whose notes are more doleful than the notes of other music are. |
| The sackbut answered the need for a lower-pitched trumpet that composers of the time sought. |
| Here the pdalle is the bass pommer, or hautbois, and the sackbut is indicated as second bass or basse-contre. |
| That's because any festival, whether it celebrates the sackbut and crumhorn of early music, or the sword and society of the Vikings, brings in enthusiasts. |
