Instruments and mouthpieces for those musicians who happen to be trumpet players. Simply the best.
Come on! Have you played Daves stuff? He has totally revolutionized the trumpet. If youve never played one...come on!
I’ve been a client for 20 years and I love this equipment and the people that make it. I started on a used mouthpiece in 1998 and now I own two horns (Bb 149xl and C 993) that I use the latest mouthpieces on. The horns and mouthpieces are truly revolutionary. The entire staff at the shop are also amazing people as well. They work with you to make sure you are using the most efficiently posture and breathing to take full advantage of their amazing work. Don’t hesitate to invest in this great line of brass instruments.
My name is Peter and I am an amateur trumpet player and RN. I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the monette trumpet factory, and was more then impressed with their hospitality. The staff from B.J. to every person working in the shop is friendly and welcoming. It is inspiring to see how passionate Dave and his staff are about their work and it shows in their instruments. I had the opportunity to play 3 different horns and 3 different mouthpieces. The P3 that Wynton owned, an LT+, and the new entry MB-111. I also played the B6 resonance Prana mouthpiece, and the B4SS2 Prana resonance mouthpiece and a lead mouthpiece (I forgot the size).I found my dream combination of the LT+ and B4SS2 mouthpiece. The sound I was able to achieve with this combination was out of this world. I will have to live with that memory until I am able to purchase my own RAJA LT+. I did place my order for the B4SS2 resonance Prana mouthpiece and I am beyond excited to make it my main mouthpiece. It is a beautiful mouthpiece with amazing sound and the fatest low register I’ve ever had without sacrificing range in the high register. I didn’t think that was possible (the B4SS2 is comparable with a MV 3C or modern Bach 1.5C) but I was proved wrong. Dave spent a lot of time working with me on posture and energetics that contributed to my playing. I would highly recommend visiting the shop if your in the Oregon area! If your a trumpet player his horns will change your concept on what’s possible. Please contact them before you arrive and schedule time in the shop and time for his energetics work it will blow your mind!
Bought a Monet te prank ts11 s1 and it is a mouthpiece that gave me a nice bold sound that I’ve never heard from any other mouthpiece I’ve bought.
Going there in two days!
It is a workshop that makes very good instruments.
