Man in church with a piano (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chap

'man' is the definition.
(term for a man)

'church with a piano' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (abbreviation on maps etc).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'piano' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation).
'ch'+'a'+'p'='CHAP'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for chap that I've seen before include "Raw, cracked patch on skin" , "we prefer not to have on hand" , "Fish" , "Fellow; sore skin area" , "cove" .)
