'she' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'fiddles with vol 1 it's in ruins' is the wordplay.
'fiddles with' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'fiddled with' mean this).
'1' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'ruins' indicates anagramming the letters.
'vol'+'i'='voli'
'voli' with letters rearranged gives 'viol'.
'its'+'in'='itsin'
'itsin' anagrammed gives 'inist'.
'viol'+'inist'='VIOLINIST'
