Spot a cello that's discordant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locale

'spot' is the definition.
(spot can mean a location)

'a cello that's discordant' is the wordplay.
'that's discordant' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'cello'='acello'
'acello' anagrammed gives 'LOCALE'.

(Other definitions for locale that I've seen before include "Place (of an event)" , "Scene of event or occurrence" , "where something happens" , "Area connected with event" , "Venue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
