Musical Instrument
noun, の adjective
Remember how 楽 was used in 音楽 and meant "music"? Well this is that 楽 again. A music container is something that can produce music. It is a musical instrument.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji.
You've learned the reading for 器 with the kanji, and 楽 uses the secondary "music" reading you learned with 音楽. Just bear in mind that the がく shortens to がっ.
