I too, am not Manny, but I can tell you that there are probably several models which could be the right one for you, but I don't think there is such thing as a "starter" monette trumpet. They are the pinnacle of trumpet artistry in manufacturing, quality, design, and product. Depending on your specific needs, you could be a candidate for virtually any of their fine instruments. I will say that the higher end Raja's and Shakti's are supposed to be less forgiving? I might be wrong there, but my first experience with a Monette was on a Raja Samadhi, and it nailed my Bach to the cross in every way.

If there was ever a "starter" Monette horn, look into the LT models, which sound and play more like a conventional trumpet, but still give you the response and intonation that makes Monette the best horn ever. I am excited about Mark Isham's LT jazz model, personally :)
