I examined my friend's prana trumpet mouthpiece and the difference is in the backbore. Imagine a normal mouthpiece with a completely conical backbore from the throat to the end of the mouthpiece. A prana version would have exactly the same size conical backbore but the throat would be cylindrical for a length of about 3 diameters, then flare out rapidly to the original cone shape as if it had started at the cup end of the throat.

Its really really loud on the trumpet, as if trumpet wasnt loud enough already. I havent tried a monette tuba mouthpiece, but Ive seen them and $479 is too much for a mouthpiece that ugly. They should make it look cool like the old Warren Deck model.
