Finishes studio job too late for musician to play (4)
I believe the answer is:
oboe
'musician to play' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'finishes studio job too late' is the wordplay.
'finishes' suggests the final letters (I've seen 'finish' mean this).
The final letters of 'studio job too late' are 'OBOE'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oboe that I've seen before include "it's blown" , "Source of music" , "Orchestral instrument" , "issuer of notes" , "Cor anglais in its family" .)
