Ivories or strings arranged on cheesy CD? (10)
I believe the answer is:
synecdoche
'ivories or strings' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'arranged on cheesy cd?' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters (letters rearranged).
'on'+'cheesy'+'cd'='oncheesycd'
'oncheesycd' with letters rearranged gives 'SYNECDOCHE'.
