Edgy and easily upset (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

highly strung

(Other definitions for highly strung that I've seen before include "Tense and easily upset" , "Excitable - easily upset" , "Nervous, easily upset" , "like the violino piccolo" , "Very sensitive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
