Classic & Prana Internal Configurations
- Prana mouthpieces allow for the most resonant sound, most effortless playing, and most consistent pitch and timbre
- Classic mouthpieces can feel more forgiving for players who tend to play with a tighter physical approach, or who are accustomed to a non-Monette mouthpiece
Weight:
- Mouthpieces with standard-depth or deeper cups are usually made in the standard-weight Resonance body.
- Mouthpieces with shallower 'lead' cups are made in the lightweight Resonance LT body.
- If you feel that you need a non-standard weight, just add a note to your order during checkout.
Plating & Finish:
Classic mouthpieces have a shiny, buffed 24k gold finish
Prana mouthpieces have a brushed 24k gold finish
Uncommon Rims for Bb Trumpet
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. Less common sizes are likely to involve a longer wait time. The exact wait time is unpredictable, as it is affected by many variables. We cannot guarantee a completion date or shipping date in advance. Thank you very much for your patience while you are waiting.
