I Bought a Monette tradition plus mpc, second hand with a very good price, for research. I will be able to sell it for the same price I payed.

I will try it and let you know. It will arrive next week.

I got the Monette tradition plus.

It has and small indication of the previous insert mm by the old owner. I asked him and he uses a Shagerl Claris trumpet.
The Monette insert 2 mm less in the Yamaha than in the Shagerl.
I don't know how the Shagerl receiver compares to the Bach receiver.

I can feel the mpc, in my trumpet, tune different some notes than the Yamaha mpc and is more open in the high register.
I can feel how the thoat is more open than the Yamaha one.

It goes into the receiver 24 mm.

Does the mpc design compensate for the GAP created ? totally or in part ?
It is designed for a bach receiver ? or is a compromise between bach and yamaha or others ?
Would work better with same design but going into the receiver more, like a yamaha mpc ?

I don't know.

I will try it to check how in plays an intonation and if I like it how it is, for my trumpet.

Some people here are doing an investigation. And we need time and go step by step.
If someone does not like it or is not interested in it , I think reading this thread is not mandatory in the legal system of any country

I have access to a software to mimic and change mouthpiece designs, and to 3d printing machines, so in the future I can do more tests, like printing a mpc with similar characteristics to any other, but that goes into the Yamaha receiver like a Yamaha mpc does.
And see what happens, "with my own eyes ".
