Valuable violin, familiarly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strad

(Other definitions for strad that I've seen before include "Valuable old violin" , "fiddle exposed" , "Valuable violin (colloq.)" , "Valuable violin (abbrev.)" , "Noted violin" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and The Washington Post.
