Re: Tomomi Kato's Horns

I've played his BSC All Around model (great valves....gorgeous sound, but VERY directional)...and the RF model (one of the best trumpets I've ever played)...the one I played on quite a bit is now owned by a very good friend (and TM-er)...hey! I kept that thing close to me! hahaha.

Fantastic horns.

Re: Tomomi Kato's Horns

Thanks guys! I'm emailing with him on a trumpet right now, but it is a bit frustrating to communicate....I email today; get a reply in a few days, and then we do it again.....but, if the horns are that good might be worth the hassle..... Understand he had a dealer here in the US but that didn't seem to work out.....

I really like the raw brass model depicted on his web page, but Tomomi seems to want to create a specific horn for me....not sure what that means w/out me being able to play test it.......I'm starting to lean towards just buying a used Monette...

Re: Tomomi Kato's Horns

How would you know that a used Monette will work for you.I think Monette's are more specific then other horns.
A new Monette made for you is one thing,but a used Monette is a totally different story.
I would go with Tomomi's personal recommendation over any used horn.:)

Re: Tomomi Kato's Horns

hmmm...good point. I did play a "basic model" Monette years ago and thought it was great, but unless I tried it, I would have no idea how a used horn would sound.....then again, I would NOT buy it unless I could try it.....

Re: Tomomi Kato's Horns

When you go into an expense like that without the horn being made special for you, I would always recommend trying it first.
