Some band instruments have the sound of conventional representations (7)
I believe the answer is:
cymbals
'some band instruments' is the definition.
'cymbals' can be an answer for 'instruments' (cymbal is a kind of instrument). I'm not sure about the 'some band' bit.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for cymbals that I've seen is " Percussion instruments of brass plates struck with stick".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
