[Features]
The B933 is a model from Monette's 900 Series, produced around 1993-1995.In recent years, this "900 Series" has seen a resurgence in appreciation among professional players and high-end enthusiasts overseas, with the B933 being a core model within it. The appeal of this particular instrument lies first in its quick response and high controllability. While considered light for a Monette, it still weighs nearly 1400 grams, giving it a substantial feel in the hands. However, you'll be surprised by its outstanding responsiveness, which seems to contradict its perceived weight.This particular instrument also boasts exceptionally neutral intonation without any peculiarities. Furthermore, its remarkable versatility is noteworthy. While many Monnet trumpets, due to their design characteristics, are said to "truly shine only with Monnet mouthpieces," this B933 has a broad tolerance range. You can fully experience this instrument's potential even with mouthpieces from other manufacturers.The sound is fundamentally brilliant, open, and quintessentially trumpet-like. Its rich, overtone-filled resonance and overwhelming sound pressure are truly unique. It commands presence in both acoustic settings and ensembles. Retaining the distinct charm of 90s Monette while being easy to handle and versatile, this is a highly refined instrument I wholeheartedly recommend.
