Agreement about securing current for musical instrument (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accordion

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

'for musical instrument' is the definition.
(accordion is a kind of musical instrument)

'agreement about securing current' is the wordplay.
'agreement' becomes 'accord' (an accord is a formal agreement).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'securing current' becomes 'noi' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'noi' reversed gives 'ion'.
'accord'+'ion'='ACCORDION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accordion that I've seen before include "Cad I croon about a musical instrument" , "Squeeze-box" , "box-shaped musical instrument like melodeon" , "Free-reed aerophone" , "Bellows-operated instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
