A piano with a bell-like sound, has charm (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

appeal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'charm' is the definition.
(I know that charm is a more specific form of the action appeal)

'a piano with a bell-like sound' is the wordplay.
'piano' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a bell-like sound' becomes 'peal' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'p'+'peal'='APPEAL'

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for appeal that I've seen before include "Beg" , "Take case to higher court to challenge verdict" , "Earnest or urgent request" , "Ask earnestly" , "Petition or attraction" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
