Loud instrument that's in the woodwind? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flute

'that's in the woodwind?' is the definition.

'loud instrument' is the wordplay.
'loud' becomes 'f' (A musical term).
'instrument' becomes 'lute' (lute is a kind of instrument**).
'f'+'lute'='FLUTE'

(Other definitions for flute that I've seen before include "Champagne glass" , "Wind instrument" , "Narrow wineglass" , "Blown" , "Musical instrument - wineglass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
