piped

'not necessarily from a wind instrument' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'this sort of music' is the wordplay.
'this sort of' becomes 'pipe' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'music' becomes 'd'.
'pipe'+'d'='PIPED'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for piped that I've seen before include "Taken from place to place, as water < music" , "Transported by Tube" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
