Purported Effect On Wolves
Historian Henry Shoemaker recorded that a hunter named Lewis Dorman (d. 1905) from the Seven Mountains region of Pennsylvania would draw wolves out of the forests by playing wolf tones on an old violin. Shoemaker notes that Dorman was an accomplished violinist and frequently played by night but the wolves would ignore his music and respond only when a wolf tone was produced.

Were they as prime as goats, as hot as monkeys,
As salt as wolves in pride, and fools as gross
As ignorance made drunk.”
