Ancient stringed instrument (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

lute

lyre

'ancient stringed instrument' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lute that I've seen before include "Play instrument" , "Plucked instrument; a sealant" , "Ancient stringed instrument" , "clay" , "instrument that minstrel played" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times, The Times, the Evening Standard and the Universal.
