Man with bow could be cheating (2,3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on the fiddle

'be cheating' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'man with bow' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'man' could be 'he' and 'he' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'could' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for on the fiddle that I've seen before include "Involved in swindling" , "leader of the orchestra?" , "Running a racket" , "Engaged in cheating" , "Cheating (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
