Monette Since the first Monette trumpet was built back in 1983, the goal at Monette Corporation has been to advance the state-of-the-art in brass instrument design and manufacturing. With the Internet, Monette would like to give those not familiar with their instruments and mouthpieces some insight into what they do, and update those of you already familiar with their older equipment on some of the new developments in their instruments and mouthpieces over the last few years.

One easily recognisable Monette trademark is their revolutionary RAJA trumpet, which they have been building now for over five years. It's integral mouthpiece, sheet bracing and acoustic innovations help produce a delicate response with a massive, brilliant sound at all dynamic levels. This instrument has revolutionised how people play and listen to the trumpet.
