Previews of Upcoming Monette Instruments

Manny,

Can you give us any news on the new Monette equipment you helped
develop? When can us regular schmo's get our hands on them?

Will their be a Bb version of the mouthpiece you helped design?

Thanks for any info in advance.

Greg

I happened to speak with Dave this afternoon after you wrote and he said that the mouthpiece I play is presently available to anyone who thinks it might be a good fit for them. You should have heard the names we were coming up with instead of the clinical number/letter combos.

I think it's called the C (or B) 1-4 S version III. See what I mean? Yuck.

Come on, you're a big dog now, why not just call it the MLX?

I mean, MF has his own initials on stuff. OK, so you're not as PHYSICALLY large as the boss, you probably put out more volume per pound than any other player on the planet!

I mean, what are you, 155 lbs tops?

Must be that black-belt-yoga-voodoo thing!

How many different versions of the b or c 1-4 are there?
How do they differ?
Thanks,

Jordan

At 148 lbs, I can peal the paint off of many-o-wall in Baghdad. Both with my rifle and trumpet. I used to get teased college that people thought that I possesed the same round belly that my other lead trumpet comrades had if they only heard me on recordings! BTW....I plan on playing Scherezade the next time I get settled in my hooch in Iraq!
