Crossword Genius

Instrument or grenade exploded (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reed organ

'instrument' is the definition.
(I know that reed organ is a type of instrument)

'or grenade exploded' is the wordplay.
'exploded' indicates an anagram.
'or'+'grenade'='orgrenade'
'orgrenade' anagrammed gives 'REED-ORGAN'.

(Other definitions for reed organ that I've seen before include "What you might hear" , "Melody Maker?" , "supports traditional services" , "musical instrument" , "Keyboard instrument, harmonium" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
