Arranger getting instrument to rise awkwardly (9)
I believe the answer is:
organiser
'arranger' is the definition.
(I know that arranger can be written as organiser)
'instrument to rise awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'instrument' becomes 'organ' (organ is a kind of instrument).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'awkwardly' is an anagram indicator.
'rise' with letters rearranged gives 'iser'.
'organ'+'iser'='ORGANISER'
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for organiser that I've seen before include "Rosie rang the person in charge of the arrangements" , "bound to keep personal data" , "Manager" , "impresario" , "arranger" .)
