Fiddle stick (3)
I believe the answer is:
bow
'fiddle stick' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for bow that I've seen before include "Bend; knot; weapon" , "at front of vessel" , "Weapon for shooting arrows" , "District in East London" , "Bend in obeisance" .)
