Blown horn? Bad instrument (7)
I believe the answer is:
bodhran
'instrument' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'blown horn? bad' is the wordplay.
'blown' indicates anagramming the letters (to blow can mean to disrupt or scatter).
'horn'+'bad'='hornbad'
'hornbad' with letters rearranged gives 'BODHRAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
