Instrument my violin player heard? (4)
I believe the answer is:
oboe
'instrument' is the definition.
(type of musical instrument)
'my violin player heard?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'player' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'obo' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oboe that I've seen before include "Cor anglais in its family" , "Double-reed woodwind" , "Woodwind instrument of treble pitch" , "bit of wind" , "Orchestral instrument" .)
