Instrument for a fathead wanting something to play? (5)
I believe the answer is:
flute
'instrument' is the definition.
(I know that flute is a type of woodwind instrument)
'fathead wanting something to play?' is the wordplay.
'fathead' becomes 'f' (head letter of 'fat').
'wanting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'something to play?' becomes 'lute' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'f'+'lute'='FLUTE'
'for a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flute that I've seen before include "See 20" , "Musical instrument - wineglass" , "Narrow wineglass" , "Wine glass; instrument" , "Blown" .)
