Something that I've been meaning to ask around about for quite a while - Fellow Monette owners (past and present) - what horns have you owned or played extensively, and what are your thoughts regarding their characteristics? I've owned an STC-4 and an MC-96 C trumpet, and currently play a Prana LTJ (my first Monette Bb) and am awaiting delivery on a P-1 C.

As far as the Prana change-over goes, I'm continually amazed by these horns - as big a difference as it was when I first put a Prana mouthpiece into my trumpet, now it's the whole horn! But, my main objective here is to open up a discussion about the different characteristics and qualities of the different model horns Monette has made over the past 25 yrs.

Discuss! - and thanks!
