Backlash concerning section of the orchestra (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repercussion

'backlash' is the definition.
(I know that backlash can be written as repercussion)

'concerning section of the orchestra' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'section of the orchestra' becomes 'percussion' (I've seen this before).
're'+'percussion'='REPERCUSSION'

(Other definitions for repercussion that I've seen before include "Recoil; reverberation" , "Indirect effect; echo" , "Impact" , "Unintended consequence" , "Backlash" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
