Agony-pipe

A clarinet. Jive use, but probably synthetic. Never Common.

“He’s jammin’ on that agony-pipe again.”

Boxing story but...

One boxer is paid to throw a fight by some real serious scary dudes, but it seems like, whatever he does, he can’t lose. It isn’t until midway through the fight that he realizes the other boxer is trying to throw the fight, too. The two are going all out, trying to lose. They’re both so good at it that the fight ends in a tie, and to all the spectators it looks like both boxers were just that good at boxing. But, wait, the serious scary dudes are pissed and each boxer is now in danger of retribution. They have to team up to outwit and out-fight the criminals, and, I don’t know, fall in love in the process.
