jamesfrmphilly is an unknown quantity at this point
why don't Monette players sound better?

i just heard Wynton's and Terrance's latest recordings.
i assume that they are playing their Monettes.
i do not hear a fat , thick or dark sound.
i certainly do not hear 20K worth of trumpet.
i know my ears are not the greatest but i hear nothing of the sound that Monette advertises.
I've heard far fatter sound from old players on old style equipment.

I've been to the Monette site and listened to the sound clips and i have not heard anything special.

is it me or is the emperor buck naked? 8)
