Greek character isn't a bad user of keys (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pianist

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

'user of keys' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'greek character isn't a bad' is the wordplay.
'greek character' becomes 'pi' (letter from the Greek alphabet).
'bad' indicates an anagram.
'isnt'+'a'='isnta'
'isnta' is an anagram of 'anist'.
'pi'+'anist'='PIANIST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pianist that I've seen before include "One tickling the ivories" , "key man" , "Key expert" , "Ashkenazy or Lang Lang" , "Key worker," .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
