Left here mindfully clutching instrument (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theremin

'instrument' is the definition.
(I know that theremin is a type of electronic instrument)

'left here mindfully clutching' is the wordplay.
'clutching' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'THEREMIN' can be found hidden inside 'left here mindfully'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
