The sackbut was a primitive Trombone without slide or valves. The hautbois was an early Oboe (when you say hautboys with a French accent it sort of comes out sounding like "oboe"). They also had viols, which were sort of like violins and other members of the strings, but they had thinner and looser strings and they were played differently. And there were lutes, which are sort of pear-shaped Guitars with a rounded back and a pegbox bent sharply away from the fingerboard.
