Crossword Genius

Melodious lute fun, possibly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tuneful

'melodious' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'lute fun possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'lute'+'fun'='lutefun'
'lutefun' with letters rearranged gives 'TUNEFUL'.

(Other definitions for tuneful that I've seen before include "Harmonious" , "With a pleasing musical sound" , "Melodic" , "Euphonious" , "Euphonic" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
