Crossword Genius

Music maker among flutes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lute

'music maker' is the definition.
(lute is a kind of musical instrument)

'among flutes' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LUTE' is hidden within 'flutes'.

(Other definitions for lute that I've seen before include "Old plucked instrument" , "instrument that minstrel played" , "Play instrument" , "Protective packing" , "Plucked instrument; a sealant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
