Well, Al, without quoting your whole message, I would say that:
1. I am not the only one on this list with negative feelings about the  
Monette horns.
2. I wish I could put on the list, some of the many messages I got off  list 
agreeing with me, but not wanting to get into the "fray" on the list.
3. I have witnessed first hand, the things that I talked about - Going off  
on people about holding or picking up the horn wrong or taking out a tuning  
slide, while in their booth; telling me that I stand wrong; and I do seem to  
remember that (albeit years ago) I did hear one of his people talk in the booth  
about a "tune-up" that there was a charge for.
Now, with all that said, you are probably right.  I do have a bias  against 
the horns.  The funny thing is that I know Dave and I actually like  him.  We 
have hung out together on a few occaisions.  We actually have  some of the same 
ideas about music education and other things.  I just  don't like the horns 
or the ideas behind them.  I have played them and they  are just not for me.  
With that said, I will get off my "high horse" on the  subject for this list.
