New Monette trumpet for Wynton

Master trumpet maker, Dave Monette, came by a few weeks ago to give Wynton a new horn, the PRANA 3 STC Bb. It took him and his team over 250 hours to make and the sound is brilliant. I can’t wait to get out and gig with it!

The reson Wyntons trumpets do not shine is because he buys them without lacquer. You can order trumpets without lacquer on Dave Monettes Website.

Do you feel it is more comfortable without it? Thanks for all the great music thru the years. Humbly Yours, Doyle Cooper Westpoint ,TN
