Monette 149XL Trumpet Raw Brass-Made in USA-Beautiful Horn. MAKE SOMEONE’S CHRISTMAS VERY SPECIAL!! For sale is a MONETTE 149XL Bb – Portland made Bb TRUMPET in Raw Brass. This horn is a player and is incredibly! Great horn for Jazz, Recitals, R&B / Blues, Orchestra, Big Band, New Orleans style brass band… This is a very versatile horn… A dream to play! The 149XL Bb Monette was the bigger and better version of the earlier model MB-149. It had a little more weight and a thicker, broader sound. The 149XL Bb has all the best qualities of the traditional-weight horns that Monette was making for its first years, but it also has that added oomph that the later horns would have. The 149XL takes a Standard Shank Mouthpiece. The horn has a great balance of lightness and mass… Its thick and dark, but bright when you want it to be. It plays like a standard weight horn, but there is more to work with in its sound and feel. There is a reason so many 149XL Bb were made and there is a reason they dont come up for sale too often. Dont miss out on an incredible opportunity! Monette Trumpets, simply put, are 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. We will PROFESSIONALLY PACKED AND INSURED, and be sent on its way to its new home and new proud owner! There are good reasons why professionals like Wynton Marsalis, Charles Schlueter of the Minnesota Orchestra, Scotty Barnhart, Patrick Hession, the late Maynard Ferguson, Barry Perkin of the Pacific Symphony and many many other professional artists play Monette equipment. Please look at the Photos. I tried to cover the full horn and post Large format photos. There is a Small Mute ding in Bell. And the 2nd Valve Slide is dinged. The Ding does not change sound of horn.
