Everyone is after soft fruit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peach

'fruit' is the definition.
(peach is a kind of fruit)

'everyone is after soft' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'each' (I've seen this in other clues).
'is after' says to put letters next to each other.
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano'**).
'each' after 'p' is 'PEACH'.

(Other definitions for peach that I've seen before include "Inform on" , "Fruit - beauty" , "Type of stone fruit" , "Cheap (anag.)" , "Strangely, this fruit might be cheap" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
