Touching melody on piano, more than a tune? (6)
I believe the answer is:
repair
'a tune?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'touching melody on piano more' is the wordplay.
'touching' becomes 're' (re can mean touching or regarding).
'melody' becomes 'air' (air can mean a tune or melody).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'piano' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation).
'more' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters added to the previous ones).
'air' after 'p' is 'pair'.
're'+'pair'='REPAIR'
'than' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repair that I've seen before include "Restore to good order" , "Restore to working order" , "Fix, mend" , "Withdraw" , "Maintain" .)
