It's noted for being honest and quiet (7,5)

I believe the answer is:

upright piano

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

'it's noted for' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'honest and quiet' is the wordplay.
'honest' becomes 'upright' (I've seen this in another clue).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'quiet' becomes 'piano' (I've seen this before).
'upright'+'piano'='UPRIGHT PIANO'

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for upright piano that I've seen before include "The old joanna" , "Keyboard instrument" , "Musical instrument smaller than a grand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish Independent.
