Musical state (8)

I believe the answer is:

oklahoma

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'musical' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'state' is the second definition.
(I know that Oklahoma is a American state)

(Other definitions for oklahoma that I've seen before include "S. central US state" , "US State and musical drama" , "US state, joined in 1907" , "A holm oak for a musical" , "Look, a ham from the state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian, the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Globe and Mail.
