Something to play, violin part? (6)
I believe the answer is:
scroll
This clue is a triple definition!
'something' is the first definition.
(I know that scroll is a type of manuscript)
'to play' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'violin part?' is the third definition.
(I know that scroll is a has part or parts of violin)
(Other definitions for scroll that I've seen before include "Ancient text" , "Parchment (as from the Dead Sea?)" , "Old book; curl up" , "Rolled-up document, as one from the Dead Sea perhaps" , "A rolled-up parchment" .)
