Being so might make perform­ance of lute fun (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tuneful

'being so might make performance' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'of lute fun' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'lute'+'fun'='lutefun'
'lutefun' is an anagram of 'TUNEFUL'.

(Other definitions for tuneful that I've seen before include "Harmonious" , "Melodious" , "Euphonic" , "Euphonious" , "Melodic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
