Twelfth Night's cross-dressing heroine (5)

I believe the answer is:

viola

(Other definitions for viola that I've seen before include "Shakespearean character" , "Alto of the violin family" , "Bowed instrument slightly larger than a violin" , "Flower -- stringed instrument" , "one used to bowing?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
