Country where a note is played (7)
I believe the answer is:
estonia
'country' is the definition.
(European country)
'a note is played' is the wordplay.
'played' is an anagram indicator (letters playing around).
'a'+'note'+'is'='anoteis'
'anoteis' anagrammed gives 'ESTONIA'.
'where' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for estonia that I've seen before include "Northern European country" , "European country, capital Tallinn" , "Baltic state" , "Republic in the Baltic region, once part of USSR" , "One of the Baltic States" .)
