He's among the trumpeters, having no ability to strum (5)
I believe the answer is:
peter
'he's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'among the trumpeters having no ability to strum' is the wordplay.
'PETER' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peter that I've seen before include "Apostle - saint - first Pope?" , "Safe; saint" , "Sir - - Ustinov" , "Leading apostle" , "Cephas" .)
