Hole found in gong? Blow me! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oboe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blow me' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'hole found in gong?' is the wordplay.
'hole' becomes 'O'.
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gong?' becomes 'OBE' (Order of the British Empire award or 'gong').
'o' placed into 'obe' is 'OBOE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oboe that I've seen before include "music producer" , "source of notes" , "it's blown" , "Double-reed woodwind" , "Orchestral instrument" .)
