I find that "dialing in" my mouthpiece makes a difference no matter what brand I'm playing, Monette's included. The amount of effect varies by instrument, though. On my Monette instrument, tweaking the valve caps makes a HUGE difference, whereas rotating the mouthpiece does not make as much difference as it would on a Bach trumpet.
