Standing strings (5)

I believe the answer is:

cello

(Other definitions for cello that I've seen before include "Lloyd Webber's instrument" , "has strings attached" , "String quartet instrument" , "Music-maker" , "Jacqueline du Pre's instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
