Square dance instrument (6)

I believe the answer is:

fiddle

(Other definitions for fiddle that I've seen before include "Swindle the musical instrument" , "Toy - string instrument - cheat" , "Play - cheat" , "Awkward task" , "for which one takes a bow" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
