'player of a large instrument' is the definition.
'cellist' can be an answer for 'player' (cellist is a kind of player). I'm not certain of the 'of a large instrument' bit.

'a small room it's awkward' is the wordplay.
'a small room' becomes 'cell' (eg a prison cell).
'awkward' indicates anagramming the letters.
'its' is an anagram of 'ist'.
'cell'+'ist'='CELLIST'

'for the' is the link.
