Violin such as the Red Mendelssohn, briefly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strad

(Other definitions for strad that I've seen before include "musical instrument" , "Valuable old violin" , "Top-quality violin (abbr.)" , "Noted violin" , "fiddle exposed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
