| If you want to hear the sound of a heavy Monette then get a cd of Charlie Schlueter. You should look for one where he is playing his C trumpet, although he will sound good on all of them.
Charlie has a big fat dark sound. I think it's great. Before you go off saying it's not the sound for symphony playing, remember he has been with the symphony for about 25 years.
You can have the Monette sound and playability for about 5000.00
It is true that Dave is a genius, not for marketing but for his ability to make a trumpet. |
