_____ Paterson, Australian poet who wrote the words to 'Waltzing Matilda' (5)

I believe the answer is:

banjo

(Other definitions for banjo that I've seen before include "Stringed instrument like guitar with round body" , "Stringed instrument with circular body" , "Long-necked instrument" , "Stringed instrument with long neck" , "something that's played on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
