Antiquated instrument from old estate, perhaps, in area (7)

I believe the answer is:

ocarina

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

'antiquated instrument' is the definition.
'ocarina' can be an answer for 'instrument' (ocarina is a kind of instrument). I'm unsure of the 'antiquated' bit.

'old estate perhaps in area' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation).
'estate perhaps' becomes 'car' (estate is a type of car).
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'o'+'car'+'in'+'a'='OCARINA'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ocarina that I've seen before include "we blow it" , "Wind instrument with a mouthpiece and finger holes" , "music-maker" , "toy instrument" , "Old wind instrument" .)
