The "PRANA" Series
The next generation of monette mouthpieces...
Monette PRANA mouthpieces may be the biggest single improvement in Monette equipment ever. Prana means the "energy of life." Appropriately named, Prana mouthpieces provide more brilliance and color in the sound, a more open, centered and effortless response, and a noticeably easier upper register! They also provide improved intonation and an overall ease of playing not found in even standard Monette mouthpieces.

Bass Trombone Models

Note: We do not use a tenor trombone mouthpiece blank when making our bass trombone mouthpieces! This means that with the wider inside rim diameter that bass trombone mouthpieces have, we can still provide comfortable, proportionate-feeling rims, rather than the thin, sharp, “cookie-cutter” rims common on conventional bass trombone mouthpieces that have been made on tenor trombone blanks.

Model BT-2 A great size for big band and commercial work, this model has a rich, full sound with great flexibility! Developed for our friend Ken Shirk of Portland, Oregon.

Model BT-1S With the same rim as our BT-1 and BT-1L, this model has a slightly shallower cup, which helps provide a slightly brighter sound and greater ease in the upper register.

Model BT-1 A true orchestral bass trombone mouthpiece, this model has a very comfortable, large rim, an extra large cup, and a monstrous sound! The upper register is surprisingly easy when the player stays open and relaxed! Also available as the BT-1L, with an extra large throat. This first model of Monette orchestral bass trombone mouthpiece was developed for John Englekist, principal bass trombone of the San Francisco Symphony.
