Idiot gets B twice using stringed instrument (10)
I believe the answer is:
doublebass
'idiot gets b' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'twice using stringed instrument' is the wordplay.
'twice' becomes 'double' (synonyms).
'using' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'stringed instrument' becomes 'bass' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'double'+'bass'='DOUBLEBASS'
