Hi all,
Is the monette silver 2 basically a silver plated b2s3 LT? How do the two differ? Thanks. |

honestly just email the Monette company. BJ can help you. Everyone else is pretty much just guessing.

The rim and cup are the same as the B2S3, but I don't believe the throat and backbore are the same. As previously suggested, the folks at Monette can help you with mouthpiece selection if you are deciding between the two.
Good luck! |

| I have one of the first silver ones made (might be the first), and it says B6S1 82. And the throat is a 23 or very close. I don’t know if the S1 and 82 apply to the 2 size. I’m sure someone at Monette would be happy to tell ya. |

I believe the S1 refers to it having a "slap" cup, and the 82 is the backbore. Both of those numbers were missing from the Silver Series mouthpieces I have seen. Obviously, Monette can provide an authoritative response. |
