What do you mean "he walks his talk?"

How do you know what engineering is going on in trumpet construction? 
 
 Are you saying that all the makers and individuals out there are not making discoveries in the design and engineering?  do you even know who all the designers are?  there are a few guys out there still alive and designing that personally knew the Besson family, Vincent Bach, Bill Tottle, Elden Benge, Renold Schilke, Gene Pilzcuk,etc and still designs with Doc Severinson and Zig Kanstul.  He forgot more than Dave Monette will ever know.  These guys didn't tell the world their secrets.  You would never know what revolutionary discoveries they made, are making or are
incorporating into their instruments.Many of them are things you can't see.
 
 
 
If you are convinced that there are no design and engineering developments going on, then perhaps Dave has succeeded with his marketing strategy.
