An early kind of trombone which had a much smaller bell than the present-day instrument and as a result it had quite a round and mellow tone. Listen to this excerpt from a fantasia by William Byrd and notice the polyphonic style of playing with entries first by sackbuts, followed by the higher sounding cornetts.
