If so, do you use the mouthpiece that is supposed to be played on that specific horn? Yes How many out there use a mouthpiece that is NOT a Monette? I haven't but, on your trumpet it should work.
The Monette mouthpiece might be better for you.
I have been given an old Chicago Monette (serial# 773 or is that the model? does annyone know?) and I am currently using a GR 66 (Chase Sanborn).

Since I've only had this horn for a day, does anyone out there know what I should be looking at in terms of a trial period? Small adjustments on where the notes click in, the tuning is a little different. It depends on how set in your ways you are. I play in a section of 5 (a Marchinkovich (sp?), a Bach, a Wild Thing, a Yamaha (Bobby Shew) so as you can see we do a good job of blending.
I hear they are inconsistent? I don't understand your last sentence.

Thanks for the Monette info.


Cheers
