Crossword Genius

Musician perhaps a boastful person? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trumpeter

This clue is a double definition.

'musician' is the first definition.
(I know that trumpeter is a type of musician)

'a boastful person?' is the second definition.
(someone blowing their own trumpet)

'perhaps' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for trumpeter that I've seen before include "Instrumentalist - type of swan" , "one of a band" , "Boastful" , "[SOMETHING FISHY]" , "Elephant perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
