Bushman is not so stupid a name if one is aware of Christian Friederich Ludwig
Buschmann, who in circa 1821 got this nutty idea to join together 15 free reed
pitch pipes into a single instrument. He is often credited with
having "invented" the harmonica. I may not go that far, but I certainly
recognize his contribution to the evolution of our instrument.
