Question - 416

Identify man and instrument.

Hint: Only 2 hits so far. The instrument is famous not for its contribution to music but for its contribution to war.

Answer: No further correct responses despite the hint. This is comedian Bob Burns playing a musical instrument of his own devising (from stove pipes and a whiskey funnel) called the Bazooka. He used it often in his shows and GIs borrowed the name for their rocket launchers due to the structural similarity. Iam and Prachi got it even before the hint. Well done.
