I believe the answer is:

fiddler

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'musician' is the first definition.
(fiddler is a kind of musician)

'untrustworthy type' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fiddler that I've seen before include "Violinist (colloq.)" , "Violinist - swindler - type of crab" , "A person playing violin" , "Musician (on the roof)?" , "Popular musical '. . . . . . . on the Roof'" .)
