10 across is perplexing me "Fiddle with metal casing finally breaking." I think the letters are V?O?A?C?G. Is this fiddle as in some sort of musical instrument and starting VIOLA---- ? All help appreciated, thank you.

Question Author
Thank you. I was somewhat thrown by thinking that 7 down was "nicks" as in "arrests.
Hi harlan - I've not seen the puzzle yet so can't comment on 7d, sorry :-)
Question Author
sorry about that, 7 down is "arrests partners holding hands without trouble" which I am now saying is "nails" only because I have N?I?S and the word fits! Not very exact, I know.
Yes, Nails - 'n(orth) & s(outh)' (partners; Bridge, eg, without; round) 'ail' (trouble)

Ta for the clue :-)
Question Author
That's brilliant, thank you so much.
