African international impressed by The Piano after editing (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethiopian

'african' is the definition.
(Ethiopian is an example)

'international impressed by the piano after editing' is the wordplay.
'international' becomes 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF).
'impressed by' indicates putting letters inside.
'after editing' is an anagram indicator.
'the'+'piano'='thepiano'
'thepiano' anagrammed gives 'ethopian'.
'i' put inside 'ethopian' is 'ETHIOPIAN'.

(Other definitions for ethiopian that I've seen before include "from African country" , "Citizen of north-east African state" , "Like Emperor Haile Selassie?" , "African national" , "found in Addis Ababa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
