Orchestral item setter misplaced somewhere near Covent Garden? (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

bow street

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

'orchestral item' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'setter misplaced somewhere near covent garden?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'setter' is 'street' which is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bow' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bow street that I've seen before include "road in city" , "- - runners were early London policemen" , "Thoroughfare associated with early police force" .)
