I agree with Manny on his intonation discourse. This does not mean that Monette is the only horn to get the job done. I still use my rotary trumpets when playing german classical and romantic music. With a suitable Monette mouthpiece, they share many of the same traits but I think the sound fits better.
Changing the horn changes only the acoustic parameters. Every type of music brings its own set of "style" requirements that cannot be reduced to "light" or "bright" or fast/slow vibrato. We have different techniques available to do justice to any piece that we tackle. It is just a matter of realizing that we will always have something new to learn!
