Order parts for ordinary instrument (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oboe

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

'instrument' is the definition.
(type of musical instrument)

'order parts for ordinary' is the wordplay.
'parts' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'part' mean this).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ordinary' becomes 'boe' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The initial letter of 'order' is 'o'.
'o'+'boe'='OBOE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oboe that I've seen before include "Instrument used in 1d" , "Slender double-reed instrument" , "Producer of notes" , "bit of wind" , "Player" .)
