Singer naked? Blow it! (7)

I believe the answer is:

bassoon

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

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

'singer naked? blow' is the wordplay.
'singer' becomes 'basso' (Italian term for a bass singer).
'naked?' says to take the centre (I've seen 'naked' mean this).
'blow' becomes 'bonk' (both can mean a hit).
The centre of 'bonk' is 'on'.
'basso'+'on'='BASSOON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bassoon that I've seen before include "Tenor of the oboe family" , "Instrument - no ASBOs (anag)" , "Hollow instrument" , "So-so ban over the instrument" , "It is played" .)
