Maestro Cordo
Celebrated classical violinist from the fictional South American country of Argeno in the "Private Dogtag: The World's Dumbest Soldier" story of Military Comics #21 (August 10, 1943). Dogtag accidentally stomps on Cordo's valuable "Straddlevarious" violin.
Convolutedly, it turns out Straddlevarious got interested in ventriloquism before he died, and invented a gadget you could tuck in your mouth and throw your voice with. Dogtag finds the gadget after Cordo smashes what's left of his violin over Dogtag's skull. Dogtag has a lot of fun trolling nazi orators on the streets of Argeno with it. Until it gets lodged down in his throat. But that just turns him into a good singer like Bang Frosby.
