Re: Monette P1 mouthpiece

When I was at the shop a year or so ago, they had so much stuff they didn't even have names for everything. They were bending mouthpieces, experimenting with bent leadpipes, different kinds of blanks (including what looked like the orinal stork-ish blanks), etc. (Charlie Schlueter was playing one of the new Pranas over the summer and when I asked him exactly what it was, his reply was something to the effect of "I dunno, Dave sent it to me and it plays great.")

It took them about three years since Prana instruments first came out to come up with new model numbers (and so far they only have B-flat up on the website, no C or odd-keyed instruments). Bottom line, they're doing a lot of crazy stuff and it's taking them a while to come up with names for everything (and even longer do get the info up on the website). I'm still not completely sure what "mid-shank" means.
