I guess I still remember some of my
High School Latin !!
The word is TUBA (sing.) and TUBAE (pl.)
and the definition is ... trumpet.
However, the instrument at that time was
a long curved (over the shoulder) horn.
Was somebody putting you on with the
word TUBUS !!?? (Man, that sounds more
like a disease !).
