Sackbut

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Sackbut

(Daniel 3:5,7,10,15) the rendering in the Authorized Version of the Chaldee sacbbeca . If this music instrument be the same as the Greek and Latin sabbeca , the English translation is entirely wrong. The sackbut was a wind instrument [MUSIC]; the sambuca was a triangular instrument, with strings, and played with the hand.


Webster's 1828 Dictionary
Sackbut

SACK'BUT, noun [The last syllable is the Latin buxus.]

A wind instrument of music; a kind of trumpet, so contrived that it can be lengthened or shortened according to the tone required.
