Ancient plucked stringed instrument with a body shaped like a sliced pear (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lute

(Other definitions for lute that I've seen before include "Old guitar-like instrument played by minstrels" , "Plucked instrument; a sealant" , "instrument that minstrel played" , "Old musical instrument" , "clay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
