A spinoff of Rattray's iconic Monarch series, the Monarch Contrast takes that same range of shapes and applies a smooth contrast finish, a sandblasted red contrast finish, or a neat black sandblasted finish. Still fitted with the a muscular band that evokes the look of a wear-gapped stem while still retaining a standard mortise-and-tenon arrangement, the Monarch Contrast line opts for a more traditional jet-black acrylic mouthpiece in order to keep focus on the bowl and fitting.
