Crossword Genius

Ear, say, for a musical instrument (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

organ

I believe this is a double definition.

'ear say' is the first definition.
(ear is a kind of organ)

'a musical instrument' is the second definition.
(organ is a kind of musical instrument)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for organ that I've seen before include "Wind and keyboard instrument" , "with a lofty tone?" , "Eg, heart/liver" , "music producer" , "notes issue from this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
