Choir a man trained in mouth organ (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harmonica

'mouth organ' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'choir a man trained' is the wordplay.
'trained' is an anagram indicator (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'choir'+'a'+'man'='choiraman'
'choiraman' anagrammed gives 'HARMONICA'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for harmonica that I've seen before include "Larry Adler's instrument" , "Harp" , "Mouth organ" , "musical instrument" , "An alternative mouth-organ" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
