For example, bishop making quiet pronouncement (5)
I believe the answer is:
piece
'for example bishop' is the definition.
(bishop is a chess piece)
'quiet pronouncement' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'peace' (I've seen this before).
'pronouncement' shows a homophone (sound like).
'peace' is a homophone of 'PIECE'.
'making' is the link.
(Other definitions for piece that I've seen before include "Bit; item" , "Chessman - part - firearm" , "newspaper article" , "bishop on board, say" , "American gun" .)
