Tool found in quiet country road? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plane

'tool' is the definition.
(I know that plane is a type of hand tool)

'quiet country road?' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'country road?' becomes 'lane' (I've seen this in another clue).
'p'+'lane'='PLANE'

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for plane that I've seen before include "Flat surface; tree" , "Aircraft - level surface - carpenter's tool" , "Nepal (anag.)" , "Smooth" , "Woodworking tool" .)
