| Abstract | |
This dissertation is the result of two years of experiments with sackbut. The goal is to share information on the history and especially about the practice of the sackbut and the trombone. The historical information was extracted from current literature sources on the history of the trombone and documents of the time, such as the treatises written by Michael Praetorius (1571-1621), Marin Mersenne (1588 - 1648) and Daniel Speer (1636-1707). This research allows the reader to view historical development of the construction of brass instruments from the straight Roman trumpet to the sackbut. The comparison between the sackbut and the trombone covers aspects of construction such as bell and the stays, also facilitating the understanding of aspects of performance. The work concludes with an account of the author about his personal experience with a replica of the sackbut and an analysis of opinions of professionals that perform both on the sackbut and trombone in response to a prepared questionnaire to provide data and subsidies to this overall research.
