Well it was a long shot...
but "trumpeter" is a kind of swan; "showing sloth" might just be "wan" and "ss" for secondary school....
So, the apostrophe in "trumpeter's" is a problem, and it seems a bit inside out but ....
I'm the kind of person who does cryptic crosswords by working backwards from what I guess the answers to be ... as you can probably tell
Wan really means pale or ashy faced, sloth is lazy.
... and whilst I'm at it,.............. Trumpeter in grand regalia (5)

Ah yes, we do have a Lieblich Gedacht on our swell (also gemshorn, horn diapason, piccolo, mixture, cornopean and oboe). You could try: Stop in German translation - a lovely thought.
