Hi there. This is OMN Coffeeshop Conversation number one-hundred forty-four. No kidding. And there are no signs of stopping.
Back at World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th and Glisan.
If you ask who makes the best trumpets in the world, a lot of folks will tell you it’s David Monette who makes his here in Portland.
Both Jazz and Classical masters world-wide own Monettes. This is not news to trumpet players.
Just this week they were putting the finishing touches on a decorated trumpet for Brazil’s Maestro Forro E Opbh and shipped a new trumpet to Avashai Cohen.
Who is this guy? What’s his secret?
Let’s meet. David Monette.
