B4S S2 - Classic Resonance & Prana Resonance
Size Comparison: modern 1-1/2C, Mt. Vernon-era Bach 3C
The original Monette B4 from the 1980s had a somewhat flat rim contour. When our friend, legendary jazz and studio player Lew Soloff asked as to create a mouthpiece for him with the same type of rim as his favorite Mt. Vernon-era Bach 3C, the original B4S was the result - with the letter S indicating that the B4S was the 'Soloff' mouthpiece in the B4 size. The B4S rim was not as flat as the B4 rim, with less bite on the inside edge. The B4S quickly became an extremely popular mouthpiece for players who are accustomed to the size of a modern 1-1/2C. When its cup was modernized in the mid 2000s, the B4S became the B4S S2.

Monette mouthpieces are made-to-order and usually will not be available as ready-made stock. The standard estimated wait time to have a trumpet mouthpiece made is approximately 6-8 weeks. Unity mouthpieces for Bb and C trumpet are often available within a shorter wait time. Uncommon sizes can involve a longer wait time. The exact wait time is unpredictable, as it is affected by many variables. We cannot guarantee an exact completion date or shipping date in advance. Thank you very much for your patience while you are waiting for your mouthpiece to be made for you.
