Jonathan, of the Monettes I think you sounded the best on the Prana. I loved your sound on the GR and the MT Vernon. I sent the Unity I had back. MY GR 65M with Symphonic Back Bore and my Reeves 42S worked for me much better.
Wow. My Reeves C2J Trumpet-Flugel piece is an 11; that's big (it's an outstanding piece, by the way, with a very deep V). I can't imagine a piece with a 7. Isn't that really larger than necessary?
@@JonathanMilam1 It didn't feel big because it was so heavy. The wider throat can brighten up that kind of heavyweight mouthpiece and make it feel less restrictive. Plus the instrument was designed for it. It's a massive hole though. You could almost drop some mouthpiece cleaning brushes straight through it.

I really like the Unity for switching octaves and intonation... But the drill size may be a bit much for me. Time will tell.... :)
The throat on the mouthpiece made for my Monette P3 trumpet was a #7 throat! It was an STC3, so the heaviest weight they make.
