Touching melody on piano, more than a tune? (6)
I believe the answer is:
repair
'a tune?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'touching melody on piano more' is the wordplay.
'touching' becomes 're' (re can mean touching or regarding).
'melody' becomes 'air' (air can mean a tune or melody).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'piano' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation).
'more' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters added to the previous ones).
'air' after 'p' is 'pair'.
're'+'pair'='REPAIR'
'than' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repair that I've seen before include "Restore to good order" , "Restore to working order" , "Fix, mend" , "Withdraw" , "Maintain" .)
