Monette takes special orders for virtually anything for a bit extra $$$. Actually, as long as your horn has *close* to the same shank size as the "basic" model, he will adapt the shank to your horn for no extra cost. For example, a trombone/euph mouthpiece can be adjusted for the "Remmington" receiver found on older Conn 88H trombones (receiver is slightly larger) and can also be adjusted for the "Euro" euphonium recievers as found on older Bessons and the Willson 2900. (receiver is a bit smaller) This works if you live in the Pacific Northwest. I within 25 miles of the Monette shop, so I guess it is easier for me to take a horn in to have a mouthpiece fitted than it would be for some of you guys in the Midwest, East, etc...
