Despite an unusual appearance, the design of the Wild Thing is focused on achieving a good traditional Cornet sound. It plays with low resistance, with a dark core to the sound, but still a defined shape, placing it right in the middle of the cornet tone-spectrum, making it perfect for concert bands, lead players in a brass bands and traditional jazz styles.
