C3 & C4 Mouthpieces for Bb trumpet

Prana Resonance & Classic Resonance (standard-weight & lightweight)

Rim Size Comparison: Conventional 1-1/2C, Schilke 16, and other similar rim sizes

The C3/C4 size range is very much a 'middle of the road' rim size, and a great option for former 3C, 5C, or 7C players who would like a bigger sound.

C3 and C4 rim options vary in rim contour:

C3 Rim: Feels a bit smaller than the C4 options, similar to the size of a conventional 2C

C3F Rim: This was a custom rim design with a fairly flat rim contour, hence the letter F in the name

C4 Rim: The original B4 rim design is somewhat flat, with a fairly sharp bite. Many players will prefer the softer-feeling B4S rim instead.

C4S Rim: Originally created for our friend Lew Soloff, hence the letter S in the name. Although sized like other B4 mouthpieces, this rim design was based on Lew's favorite vintage 3C

C4L Rim: Lead mouthpieces in this rim size have a bit more cushion on the rim for extra comfort with demanding high-note playing

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:

C trumpet mouthpieces are usually made in the standard-weight Resonance body.
If you prefer the lighter-weight Resonance LT body for a brighter sound and/or lighter feel, 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

Quantity

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.
