Crossword Genius

Company's first musical furniture (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chair

'furniture' is the definition.
(I know that chair is a type of furniture)

'company's first musical' is the wordplay.
'company's first' becomes 'c' (1st letter of 'company').
'musical' becomes 'hair' (1960s musical).
'c'+'hair'='CHAIR'

(Other definitions for chair that I've seen before include "Seat for one person" , "academic office" , "Professoriate" , "Preside over - seat" , "Single seat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
