Wind instrument and stringed instrument confused? Not her (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

basset horn

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

'wind instrument' is the definition.
(basset horn is a kind of wind instrument)

'instrument confused? not her' is the wordplay.
'instrument' becomes 'bass' (bass is a kind of instrument).
'confused?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'confused' mean this).
'not'+'her'='nother'
'nother' with letters rearranged gives 'ethorn'.
'bass'+'ethorn'='BASSET-HORN'

'and stringed' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for basset horn that I've seen is " instrument".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
