Sackbut. Daniel 3:5; Daniel 3:7; Daniel 3:10; Daniel 3:15. 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, See Music.; the sambuca was a triangular instrument, with strings, and played with the hand.
