Pear-shaped instrument (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lute

'pear-shaped instrument' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lute that I've seen before include "Subject to drugs" , "Old stringed instrument with a pear-shaped body" , "Plucked, pear-shaped instrument" , "Elizabethan stringed instrument" , "Ancient stringed instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
