Moving stair that makes a musical sound (5)
I believe the answer is:
sitar
'a musical sound' is the definition.
I know that 'musical' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns
'moving stair' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'stair' anagrammed gives 'SITAR'.
'that makes' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sitar that I've seen before include "Indian stringed instrument" , "Long necked and often plucked" , "Astir with Indian long-necked lute" , "Long-necked musical instrument of India" , "Stringed instrument of the subcontinent" .)
