Leaning forward playing the cello? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bowing

This clue is a double definition.

'leaning forward' is the first definition.
(to bow is to lean forward)

'playing the cello?' is the second definition.
(a cello is played with a bow)

(Other definitions for bowing that I've seen before include "musical technique" , "deforming with age" , "Bending" , "Acknowledging applause" , "Perhaps playing Strad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
