| Re: I'm gonna try a C Ajna! I don't have the pedigrees that you guys do but I'll stand up for the Bach trumpets that I own. Monettes are undoubtedly wonderful trumpets and the very small amount of time I've spent playing one I had somewhat mixed results with...probably more a reflection of me than on the trumpet.
My main Strads are relatively recent trumpets. I think what impresses me most is there ability to 'colour'. I can either be a part of the pallete of colours or I can be the bright yellow splashed all over the canvas (metaphor time again).
I haven't played another trumpet, yet, that lets me do that so instinctively.
Just a bit of balance, hopefully. If a Monette, or anything else, floats your boat go for it I say.
