I believe the answer is:

spine-tingling

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

'meadows likely to produce a shudder?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'instrument left in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'instrument' could be 'spinet' (spinet is a kind of instrument) and 'spinet' is located in the answer.
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is found within the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ging' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spine-tingling that I've seen before include "Causing fear or excitement" , "Scary - exciting" .)
