Pusaune

Pusaune [MHGer. busîne, busûne], Ger. word, derived from words meaning trumpet, that first denoted that instr. but came to designate the trombone after the latter came into existence. Early references therefore pertain to the trumpet. See also: Posaune (169). Sachs, Curt. Handbuch der Musikinstrumentenkunde. Leipzig, 1920.
