Flutes around another instrument (4)
I believe the answer is:
lute
'another instrument' is the definition.
'lute' can be an answer for 'instrument' (lute is a kind of instrument). I'm not sure about the 'another' bit.
'flutes around' is the wordplay.
'around' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LUTE' is hidden in the letters of 'flutes'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lute that I've seen before include "Stringed instrument shaped like a halved egg" , "Old stringed instrument with a pear-shaped body" , "Protective packing" , "clay" , "Old musical instrument" .)
