"1812 Overture" instrument (6)

I believe the answer is:

cannon

(Other definitions for cannon that I've seen before include "Heavy ordnance" , "Large gun that fires heavy shells" , "Gun sounds like a churchman" , "Billiard shot or large gun" , "Large artillery piece" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
