LOTUS Trumpet Mouthpiece "Make your life easier" -Lotus Trumpets It was updated to the third generation in August 2023. Lotus was born from the concept of "making it easier and more fun to express the music you play, whatever the genre." The brand was created by trumpeter Adam Rappa himself, and was born from a series of thorough test runs. For trumpets, you can choose from six rim sizes, ten cup depths, and three material combinations. This is a mouthpiece that we can introduce as a new standard, regardless of genre, such as jazz or classical. What is a LOTUS mouthpiece? Incredibly easy to tune and play. Improved tone, accuracy, and durability. Familiar rim and cup make it easy to switch from other manufacturers. Three annealed materials—brass, bronze, and nickel silver—give you more control over tone, projection, and the balance between stability and flexibility. I, Adam Rapa, believe that mouthpiece choice is far more important than the trumpet you play. The mouthpiece is an instrument and a very important amplification device. What we call "sound" is determined more by the mouthpiece than by the trumpet. The mouthpiece plays a major role in determining the range, quality of articulation, flexibility, durability... the intonation of the entire instrument, the resistance you feel when moving air, and more. Your playing is affected more by the mouthpiece than the trumpet. And, fortunately, mouthpieces are much cheaper than trumpets! *This is the product page for the "3rd generation". *This product may need to be ordered.

We have finally cracked that seemingly impossible code! The XL cup is particularly useful for orchestral players, and we recommend the 1XL or 2XL sizes. This model maintains a sweet, core sound, but also produces a calm sound that doesn't shine too much in the range below forte. You can blend into the ensemble and avoid the conductor's glare! It also makes it easy to reproduce various song articulations. [Jazz musicians] When playing ballads or a gentler approach to Chet Baker or Blue Mitchell, this mouthpiece produces a very warm, full, and refined sound. Even if you play a heavy or large-bore trumpet, you can instantly achieve a rich sound just by using this mouthpiece. [Ideal for the following situations] - Orchestral or chamber music performances seeking a warm sound concept - People who often perform in small/old halls with rotary trumpets - Jazz soloists who prefer a warm, rounded sound and do not use the high range frequently [Material development] Brass/Bronze/Nickel Silver *In order to take advantage of the characteristics of the cup, the materials available for some models are limited. [Size range] Rim sizes: 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 11 Cup depth: XL, XL2, L, L2, M, M2, S, XS, XS2 (※) PVD gold coating is a coating method used for jewelry and molds, etc. It can be treated in the same way as general plating.
