David Monette
David G. Monette (born 1956, Kalamazoo, Michigan) is an American craftsman who designs and builds custom brass instruments and mouthpieces for musicians.[1][2]
Monette's experience as a trumpeter and the influence of acoustician
He has designed mouthpieces and trumpets for Dr. George Washington Shaw, Maynard Ferguson, Wynton Marsalis and Charles Schlueter, as well as tubist Chester Schmitz. Monette designed the Flumpet, a combination of a trumpet and flugelhorn, for jazz musicians Art Farmer and Mark Isham.[3][2]
Monette designed his first trumpet in 1983. A perfectionist, he has said that his vision is to create a trumpet with the "perfect sound", which, according to Monette, is a sound that "gets out of the way" of the connection between a musician and an audience.[2]
