Strange job an instrumentalist may hold (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

banjo

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

'instrumentalist may hold' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'strange job an' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'job'+'an'='joban'
'joban' with letters rearranged gives 'BANJO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for banjo that I've seen before include "Formby's instrument" , "Relative of the guitar" , "Something instrumental" , "strumming instrument" , "Instrument with long neck and round body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
