Instrument for the one-man band that makes a squawky noise? (7)
I believe the answer is:
leghorn
'band that makes a squawky noise?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'instrument for the one-man' is the wordplay.
'instrument' becomes 'horn'.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'the one man' becomes 'leg' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'horn' after 'leg' is 'LEGHORN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leghorn that I've seen before include "Breed of domestic foul" , "Breed of chicken" , "Chicken; straw hat" , "port" .)
