Crossword Genius

Female with one instrument or another (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flute

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'or another' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'female with one instrument' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'one instrument' becomes 'lute' (lute is a kind of instrument).
'f'+'lute'='FLUTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flute that I've seen before include "Wine glass; instrument" , "High-pitched woodwind instrument" , "See 20" , "Musical instrument - wineglass" , "Narrow wineglass" .)
