Upright piano in bash: tuning note ruined (8)
I believe the answer is:
goalpost
'upright' is the definition.
(goalpost is a kind of upright)
'piano in bash tuning note ruined' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'piano' could be 'p' (musical abbreviation) and 'p' is found in the answer.
'note' could be 'g' (musical note) and 'g' is found in the answer.
'ruined' could be 'lost' (similar in meaning) and 'lost' is found within the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for goalpost that I've seen before include "Upright with net attached" , "One propping up the bar" , "it's unfair to move" , "One of four supporters at ends of pitch" , "one unfairly moved" .)
