Monette Instruments

Important Things to Know about Monette Instruments

Our instruments are truly custom built, made one at a time for each individual player we work with.
Monette instruments are designed to be played only with Monette mouthpieces of the correct pitch and correct weight(s) for the specific model being played.
Due to our limited production and labor-intensive designs, there has always been a waiting list for Monette trumpet orders. Please contact our shop for our current backorder.
The weight and model of Monette instrument that best suits a given player depends on a wide range of variables, most notably their sound concept, their body use as they play and the types of rooms in which they play.
Lighter instruments are more forgiving if the player often plays in small rooms or has some unresolved body alignment and tension issues.
Heavier instruments usually work better for players who are used to using Monette mouthpieces, who play in large halls, and who have an open and aligned physical approach that allows them to play “with their entire body.”
