Six carelessly losing no good instruments (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

violins

'instruments' is the definition.
(violin is a kind of instrument)

'six carelessly losing no good' is the wordplay.
'six' becomes 'vi' (roman numeral).
'carelessly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'no' is a deletion indicator.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'losing' with 'g' removed is 'losin'.
'losin' with letters rearranged gives 'olins'.
'vi'+'olins'='VIOLINS'

(Another definition for violins that I've seen is " Fiddles".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
