Ancient stringed instrument (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

lute

lyre

'ancient stringed instrument' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lyre that I've seen before include "Rely (anag.)" , "Plucked instrument" , "Ancient musical instrument - sounds mendacious" , "Ancient Greek stringed instrument" , "Old musical instrument with strings in U-shaped frame" .)

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