plunker
Unskilled string player
A plunker is something or someone that plunks—makes a hollow, twanging sound.
The word often describes an amateur or unskilled musician, especially a guitarist who can only manage basic chords: He's just a plunker, but he enjoys playing at open mics.
In baseball slang, a plunker is a pitch that hits the batter, or a pitcher known for hitting batters.
