Maybe scared about the piano getting scratched? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scraped

'scratched?' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'maybe scared about the piano' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'the piano' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation).
'scared' with letters rearranged gives 'scraed'.
'scraed' placed around 'p' is 'SCRAPED'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for scraped that I've seen before include "Grazed; scratched" , "Abraded" , "Slightly damaged" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
