Shiver me timbers! What tone colours (7)
I believe the answer is:
timbres
'what tone colours' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'shiver me timbers' is the wordplay.
'shiver me' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'timbers' with letters rearranged gives 'TIMBRES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for timbres that I've seen before include "Distinctive properties of sounds, voices say" , "Characteristic qualities of sounds" .)
