Instrument taken in extremely recently (4)
I believe the answer is:
lyre
'instrument' is the definition.
(lyre is a kind of instrument)
'in extremely recently' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LYRE' is hidden in the letters of 'extremely recently'.
'taken' is the link.
(Other definitions for lyre that I've seen before include "Ancient musical instrument - sounds mendacious" , "Rely (anag.)" , "Early harp" , "Old instrument, like a harp" , "Ancient stringed musical instrument with U-shaped frame" .)
