Noble award given for organ piece (7)

I believe the answer is:

earlobe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'organ piece' is the definition.
'earlobe' can be an answer for 'piece' (earlobe is a kind of piece). I'm unsure of the 'organ' bit.

'noble award given' is the wordplay.
'noble' becomes 'earl' (earl is a kind of noble).
'award' becomes 'OBE' (Order of the British Empire).
'given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'earl'+'obe'='EARLOBE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for earlobe that I've seen before include "Soft part of a facial organ" , "low part of organ" , "that could have a ring to it" , "Fleshy part of hearing organ" , "something of a listener" .)
