Word of the Day: Sackbut

[debodun]

Sackbut (noun) - a brass wind instrument originating from the Renaissance and Baroque eras resembling a small trombone.

Some chamber music groups include a sackbut.

From atop the tower of the castle could be heard the joyous sound of a sackbut.

And all this time, I thought a Sackbut was a lazy person......

When I hear the word, this Monty Python image springs to mind:

@debodun great minds think alike

 

[peramangkelder]

I was going to say something witty....well try to anyway....but I can't because the word 'sackbut' cracks me up
Yeah I know....little things amuse little minds

 

[Aunt Marg]

Don't you love a guy that knows how to play with his sackbut?

ROFLMAO!

And BOTH at the same time no-less! Talk about a feat!

When I saw the word sackbut a whole different image came to my mind.

 

[Sliverfox]

Little Boy Blue,,go blow your sackbut.

I agree with Ruthanne about images.

Little boy blowing in a sack,prior to breaking it.

BANG,, wakes all of us up.

When the pandemic is over, my family and I will be attending a concert of the Minnesota Sackbut Quartet.

After the lockdown, I have a sackbutt......but mine is more of a large duffle bag than a sack. Y'know, the kind that costs $25 to check at the airport.

@RadishRose ~ I thought I was making up a joke about Sackbut Quartet. I didn't know there actually was such a thing. Thanks for the video.

And then there are the sackbutts that require TWO seats in the airport and on the airplane, or as I call them "wide loads".

Can you tell if it's a sackbut or a trumpet? They sound very similar to me.

I think the trumpet sound is higher and the sackbut/trombone is deeper in sound.

 

[Gaer]

This word invokes images significantly different from a trumpet! hahaha!
