Amateurs; in music we've been alerady using cannons since 1880: Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture
-
While it does not invoke cannons (which will be outside whenever this piece is being performed), there is a piece where a percussionist whacks a piece of wood with a super-sized mallet. Imagine a barrel on a stick...

In America, guns are considered an instrument.

And anywhere that wants an indoor performance of the 1812 Overture.

Oh no, the more dramatic orchestras will use cannon indoors too. I was at a rather excellent concert some years ago, thoroughly enjoying the music and very much 'in the moment' as you might say, when I discovered this fact. I was seated up in the gods, and one of the cannons was, it turns out, on a gallery almost directly above me. They pretty much had to scrape me off the ceiling when that thing went off, and I don't think my heart rate came down until I got a stiff drink in the intermission.

When the classic MIDI track you want to perform uses instrument #128
Still, easier than coordinating the helicopter to fly over at the right time.

Wouldn’t this make everyone in the room go deaf?
