Performer of an early edition for the piano (6)
I believe the answer is:
player
This clue might be a double definition.
'performer of an early edition' is the first definition.
'player' can be an answer for 'performer' (player is a kind of performer). I am unsure of the 'of an early edition' bit.
'piano' is the second definition.
(player piano is a kind of piano)
'for the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for player that I've seen before include "Person who takes part in a game" , "Competitor; musician" , "Sports team member" , "Participant in competitive game" , "South African golfer, Gary" .)
