The B1 size range contains the five largest rims that we make for trumpet. These rims vary mainly in their contours, which can also affect the sensation of size.
Rim Options:
- B1-1 - Very large rim size, with a rounded contour that makes it feel even larger
- B1-2 - Somewhat flat rim, comparable to a conventional 1X
- B1-3 - The original Monette rim, designed in the mid 1980s
- B1-4 - Fairly flat rim contour
- B1-5 - The go-to rim for players accustomed to a conventional 1C

- 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
Plating & Finish:
Classic mouthpieces have a shiny, buffed 24k gold finish
Prana mouthpieces have a brushed 24k gold finish
Vintage-Model B1 Sizes
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. Vintage-Model mouthpieces are mostly discontinued and likely to involve a significantly 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.
