Hey loweredsixth
If you wanna hear a Flumpet in all its awesome beauty go buy the DVD Rules Of Engagement. That movie was scored by Mark Ishlam using a Flumpet. Go here for more info.

If you can afford a Flumpet then I'd say its a GREAT investment! I cant say I'd ever buy a Monette Trumpet cause I'm really happy with my Martin Committee, but a specialty instrument like this is worth what Dave is asking. I LOVE what I've heard from this beautiful instrument.
I really like having a deep dark smooth sound on my horn and to further this in ballad playing (think Wyntons Resolution of Romance) I use a Bach 1c. For some reason the more I advance my playing, the more I am being drawn to a Flumpet type sound. Maybe I am a flugel player at heart
I think next year I am gonna get a Monette mouthpiece, and a Flumpet?...well thats a dream for now
