Get agreement on what will be charged for instrument (9)

I believe the answer is:

accordion

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

'for instrument' is the definition.
(accordion is a kind of instrument)

'get agreement on' is the wordplay.
'get' becomes 'ion' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'agreement' becomes 'accord' (an accord is a formal agreement).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ion' put after 'accord' is 'ACCORDION'.

'what will be charged' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

(Other definitions for accordion that I've seen before include "box-shaped musical instrument like melodeon" , "Agreement starts the musical instrument" , "Squeeze box" , "Bellows-operated instrument" , "Free-reed aerophone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
