Violinist quite unlike Yehudi Menuhin, an abrasive sort (7)

I believe the answer is:
scraper
'violinist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'quite unlike yehudi menuhin an abrasive sort' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'an' could be 'per' (synonymous as in 'once an hour', 'once per hour') and 'per' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scraper that I've seen before include "Tool for, eg, removing wallpaper" , "Hand tool for clearing surfaces" , "Wallpaper remover" , "Surface-cleaning tool" , "Violinist" .)
