Don’t really know but if I had to guess, I’d say he went to a different country to make nearly the exact same horn at a lesser cost to sell it at a more competitive price than Monette. Take my assumption with a grain of salt. If true, bravo Adam! Business man right there!
dont prove your trumpets by giving them to virtuoso players . If they are what you say : lets see how they improve average normal players or players that struggle..A great player makes a student horn sound great
Donovan Teasley shure, but a good trumpet player sounds good on every horn. Most players don't keep that in mind while watching these videos. If there is the possibility to try the horn before you buy it, do it, but try many horns and THEN start to think what is best for you
Rapa markets these horns as the answer as to why people have playing problems...even throws another make of horn against as wall in disgust...it gives the impression that equipment prevents you from playing....if these horns are that good...lets see him take one down to a poor sounding college band ...give it to the kids and let them play a few bars of something they struggle on then the same bars on his horns.....not one kid but 10 or 20.....what a brilliant advertising campaign....i love trumpets . If I could see after all these years of toil it was the trumpet that was the problem (not me) why i would be digging verry deep in my pockets to get one...sure a lot of people would.
Not a bad argument, but consider this: who wants to hear a struggling player fumble through things that he/she can't technically understand/articulate? Just like the adage that a great player sounds great on any horn, the adverse would likely hold true. And I personally wouldn't sit around listening to a bad player on a great horn.
me i want to hear and sit around ......Rapa is saying the horn is the reason you struggle....well lets see the proof on normal players....because if he is right we all should be going off to the lotus shop.....but i want to see it sort out the average Joe not mr and mrs virtuoso
