The design of these trumpets is very unique, unlike others trumpets. Flip Oakes Wild Thing Trumpets are designed to enhance whatever style or sound YOU, the player, chooses to play.

These instruments are very well balanced for openness of blow and the size and quality of sound. These are the most open, free blowing trumpets ever made. With the fastest response, wonderfully strong slotting, and superb intonation, it maintains an incredible ease of flexibility and movement.

 
 
 

With carrying power that is unsurpassed, the Wild Thing Bb Trumpet's exclusive design produces a sound that is very open and dark with a huge core when played with a symphonic mouthpiece.

In addition, it can also produce a very bright and vibrant lead sound when played with a lead player's set up; and yet its sound retains its shape! Rather than closing-down, these trumpets open up as you play higher and higher!

This trumpet is a "Chameleon" in the sense that it produces a variety of sounds, depending how you approach it.  Players of all different musical styles and playing situations are now playing the Flip Oakes Wild Thing!

The bell is one of the most significant features of this horn. It is open wrapped, hand hammered, one piece with a very large throat with a 5" flare which helps to produce it's large "Wild Thing" sound.
 
The horn also comes with two distinctly different tuning slides.
 
Each tuning slide is stamped #1 and #2 for easy identification.
 
The #1 tuning slide is cylindrical, with a .470" bore for the biggest and most open sound.
 
The #2 tuning slide is conical starting at .460" bore and opens to .470" bore, which adds just the right amount of resistance to produce a warm full tone.
