| My Monette Rant
So, I was cruising the ebay a few weeks ago, when I came upon a Monette Prana for sale. I actually saw the pictures of the bell, etc. Really interesting, how the bell flares.
I went back the next day, when the link went down.
So, later I started crusing around, looking for some Monette pics.
And, I searched, and searched, and searched....
WHY AREN'T THERE MORE PICTURES OF THE MONETTE TRUMPETS!??!?!?
One would figure such high quality horns, people would be chomping at the bit to show them off. However, it seems no one shows these horns off.
I would love to see in-depth photos; the bell flare, the soldering close-up, the bracing, the valves, the slides, the inside of the leadpipe....
But instead, all I see are the far-off sideways pics at Dave's website. Its aggravating.
(I would also like to see comparative photos of the Prana, the Standard, and those Monette pieces with the really fat upper body).
