Unlimited local drink ban for music maker (7)

I believe the answer is:

ocarina

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'music maker' is the definition.
(ocarina is a kind of musical instrument)

'unlimited local drink ban' is the wordplay.
'unlimited' says to take the centre (discard the edges or 'limits' of the word).
'drink ban' becomes 'rina' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The middle letters of 'local' are 'oca'.
'oca'+'rina'='OCARINA'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
