Fish and wine bottles in for music player (4,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bass clarinet

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

'for music player' is the definition.

'fish and wine bottles' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'bass' (bass is a kind of fish).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wine bottles' becomes 'clarinet' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bass'+'clarinet'='BASS CLARINET'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bass clarinet that I've seen before include "instrument" , "that can make musical sounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
