German quality of woodwinds: always wanting more (10)
I believe the answer is:
greediness
'always wanting more' is the definition.
'german quality of woodwinds' is the wordplay.
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'quality of woodwinds' becomes 'reediness'.
'g'+'reediness'='GREEDINESS'
(Other definitions for greediness that I've seen before include "Avarice" , "Gluttony" .)
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
