Regulate critic playing instrument (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
electric guitar
'instrument' is the definition.
(electric guitar is a kind of instrument)
'regulate critic playing' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'regulate'+'critic'='regulatecritic'
'regulatecritic' with letters rearranged gives 'ELECTRIC GUITAR'.
(Another definition for electric guitar that I've seen is " Musical instrument".)
