Cremonese musical family? Medical group backing it? (5)
I believe the answer is:
amati
'cremonese musical family? medical' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'group backing it?' is the wordplay.
'group' becomes 'ama' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'backing' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'it' back-to-front is 'ti'.
'ama'+'ti'='AMATI'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amati that I've seen before include "Italian craftsmen" , "Noted Cremona violinmaking family" , "Violin or cello made by a Cremona family" , "Renowned violin-making family" , "family of workers on the fiddle?" .)
