How the clue works
The definition is money. A FENCE is a criminal (receiver of stolen goods), and "reducing volume" tells us to swap the F (forte, meaning loud in music) for P (piano, meaning quiet in music) — literally reducing the volume. This gives us PENCE, which is capital money (as in currency of the capital, i.e. British pounds and pence).
