Flute, oboe etc (8)
I believe the answer is:
woodwind
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'flute' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'oboe etc' is the second definition.
(I know that standard oboe is a type of double-reed instrument)
(Other definitions for woodwind that I've seen before include "Flutes, oboes etc." , "Flute or oboe, for instance" , "Group within orchestra" , "Clarinets and oboes etc" , "Kind of musical instrument" .)
