MAKE SOMEONE’S CHRISTMAS VERY SPECIAL!!! For sale today is a MONETTE MF PRANA TRUMPET in gorgeous silver plate. This is a very popular Monette trumpet, particularly for those who prefer a lighter weight instrument. This horn is the lightest Bb instrument that Monette makes. This trumpet was designed for, and played by Maynard Ferguson , and is an IDEAL instrument for LEAD AND EXTREME UPPER REGISTER playing. With a heavy mouthpiece setup, however, this instrument plays beautifully in a classical or small jazz group setting. I have recorded two studio albums with this very trumpet, and the clarity, the density, and the full body of its sound are second to none! How does it play? It plays amazingly well, in tune in every register, and can light up a room with it’s soaring tone, or play at the softest whisper you can imagine – all with that unmistakable Monette sound. And, it is remarkably easy to play! A very good friend and professional colleague of mine that teaches privately is a symphony player that owns a Bach Stradivarius. But when she teaches, she uses her husband’s Monette trumpet , and I asked her why she would prefer a Monette for teaching. Her answer made a great deal of sense when I look back at my personal experiences playing this trumpet. She said the Monette will do everything her Bach Stradivarius will do AND MORE – with 50% of the effort! These are, simply put, the FINEST trumpets ever made! They are hand made at the Monette shop in Portland, Oregon, with painstaking care and manual labor. Each completed instrument is play tested and adjusted by Dave Monette himself or a trusted member of his staff. Consider these facts – a good horn like a Bach Stradivarius Model 37 takes 4 – 5 hours to make, from beginning to end. These trumpets are MASS PRODUCED BY MACHINE and are very inconsistent in their quality, comparing one to another. Each Monette instrument, by way of contrast takes over 180 man hours to build, by hand, and is VERY CONSISTENT AND OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY IN THE INDUSTRY! There are good reasons why professionals like Wynton Marsalis, Charles Schlueter of the Minnesota Orchestra, Scotty Barnhart, Patrick Hession, the late Maynard Ferguson , and many many other professional artists play Monette equipment. I WILL NOT ENTERTAIN LOWBALL OFFERS FOR THIS FINE INSTRUMENT. As a trumpet player for over 50 years, I have owned many of the finest instruments made. But this Monette is THE FINEST I have ever owned and ever played, and it is well worth every penny you invest in it. MAKE SOMEONE’S CHRISTMAS VERY VERY SPECIAL! Don’t wait on this!
