Crossword Genius

A good musical instrument chimed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agreed

'chimed' is the definition.

'a good musical instrument' is the wordplay.
'a good' becomes 'ag' (I've seen this in other clues).
'musical instrument' becomes 'reed' (reed is a kind of musical instrument).
'ag'+'reed'='AGREED'

(Other definitions for agreed that I've seen before include "matched" , "ratified" , "acceptable" , "Let's do it!" , "Shared an opinion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
