Wind instrument player (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

piper

(Other definitions for piper that I've seen before include "He who pays him, calls the tune" , "Wind instrumentalist" , "Scots musician" , "Musician (paid for a tune?)" , "Military musician" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
