A puzzle (with a prize)

Your task is to come up with the name of a person from the past. It’s a real person and a well-known name.

The short version of this name is made of

~ fine particles
~ a machine
~ a musical note
~ musical instruments

The long version of the name adds drinks.

Leave your guesses in the comments. I’ll send the first correct entry a two-pack of Papermate Black Pearl erasers. They used to be difficult to come by; now they’re really difficult to come by, because they’ve been discontinued. At eBay, (optimistic) sellers are asking $53.99 and up for two. I’ll send the erasers on the honor system, trusting that they’ll be used for erasing, not for resale.

I hope someone gets the answer. If not, I’ll reveal it on the 11th.

We have a winner — the answer in the comments. Congrats to shallnot. And I’ll add the answer here:

Sandro Botticelli: sand, robot, ti, celli. Add drinks and you get Alessandro Botticelli. These assemblages came to me while reading the Penguin Little Black Classics volume of selections from Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Artists .

A close alternative, submitted via e-mail, is Sandy Koufax: sand, the note E, kou (the kou xiang ), fax. No drinks though.
