banjo

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

'instrumentalist gets to work on' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'new job an' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'job'+'an'='joban'
'joban' is an anagram of 'BANJO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for banjo that I've seen before include "Something instrumental" , "Stringed instrument beloved of old minstrel shows" , "Five-stringed musical instrument" , "strumming instrument" , "Instrument with long neck and round body" .)
