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

'one making adjustments to a fine pitch?' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'one' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ter' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
