Daughter in play annoyed about parts for harmonium? (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

reed organ

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

'for harmonium?' is the definition.
('reed organ' can be a synonym of 'harmonium')

'daughter in play annoyed about parts' is the wordplay.
'daughter in play' becomes 'regan' (I've seen this before).
'annoyed' becomes 'rode' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'parts' indicates putting letters inside (in the sense of cuts or separates).
'rode' reversed gives 'edor'.
'regan' enclosing 'edor' is 'REED-ORGAN'.
