Usage Note

Strumentista refers to any musician who plays an instrument (as opposed to a singer, cantante). The word is invariable in gender for the article: lo strumentista (m) / la strumentista (f); the ending -ista takes gender from the article, not a form change. Plural: strumentisti (m) / strumentiste (f).
