Wild roar getting to grips with casket produced by one with a job down in pit? (9)
I believe the answer is:
orchestra
'pit?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'wild roar getting to grips with casket' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'getting to grips with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'casket' becomes 'chest'.
'roar' anagrammed gives 'orra'.
'orra' placed around 'chest' is 'ORCHESTRA'.
'produced by one with a job down in' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orchestra that I've seen before include "Carthorse (anag)" , "A number of musicians" , "those who provide the music" , "alternative to the organ" , "players in pit" .)
