[Trombone-l] sackbut

[Corliss]

Thanks, Christopher. This is odd because the two instruments do not have
anything in common. In this  discussion it was said that the word 'sackbut'
was used in King James Versions of Jermemiah. I don't find it there but
rather in the third chapter of Daniel, verses five, seven, and fifteen. If
you try to put this material in historical context and identify with what
the historical critics have to say the book belongs much closer to the time
of Jesus than to the time of the historical Daniel.
