Renaissance sackbuts
Alto sackbut after Starck

Model in Historic, in key of D 466 Hz, with tuning slide
Tenor sackbut after Anton Schnitzer the Elder, Nuremberg 1579.
Version in MDC Extra. The slide braces are clearly recognizable as hinges with horse head locks.
MDC Extra
The most historic version at Egger
For this rendition, we meticulously analyzed the details of the historical original instruments in museums and painstakingly recreated them. Starting with hammered and gently shaped Nuremberg brass, we crafted hand-engraved garlands and exact replicas of the ferrules and pommels based on the original casts.
But what sets the MDC Extra rendition apart are its additional features. It includes a fitted tuning slide, a triple slide with a brass soldered outer slide, a hinge on the slide cross braces, and a flat cross-stay with a hinge.
This results in a masterful piece crafted the old-fashioned way. We’re fortunate to offer this special rendition not just for the pictured Schnitzer tenor trombone, but also for our Starck alto sackbut and Hainlein tenor sackbut.
