Young talented amateur violinist in the ...FUTURE. From the "Music of the Spheres" sci-fi story of anthology comic book Startling Comics #53 (September 1948).
He's a poor human Martian colonist, whose father has been crippled by cosmic poisoning, and Wayne is trying to support his family by winning music contests.
He plays with two bows simultaneously, a trick taught him by blue Jupiterian alien Namar.
Wayne wins the All-Jupiter Contest of the Planetary Music Festival on Jupiter and goes on to the All Solar Finals.
Space detective Lance Lewis has to figure out why a cargo space ship was blown up and how it's connected to greeting cards and Wayne.
Turns out Wayne's sponsor, Mr. Gorman, put exploding greeting cards on the ship, and rigged Wayne's violin with a wave modulator that sent the triggering frequency that set off the explosives when the crew listened to the contest broadcast. It's explained that only the government has broadcasting equipment.
