Tonne transported by group (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nonet

'group' is the definition.
(group of nine musicians)

'tonne transported' is the wordplay.
'transported' indicates an anagram.
'tonne' anagrammed gives 'NONET'.

'by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nonet that I've seen before include "Composition for nine performers" , "Band's" , "musical piece" , "Multi-figure composition" , "Piece for nine players" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
