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.

Have you ever heard the old saying, "The ultimate reed mouthpiece! Expands your range! Produces a great big tone!" This cup is the closest you'll ever come to that. Despite its shallow cup, it produces a surprisingly rich tone. Many players who play third or fourth horns in big bands have been pleased, saying that it's easy to match the tone of a first horn without having to use a shallow mouthpiece. It covers a wide range of notes, from the highest note to the lowest low F#, and you and other musicians will love the sound it produces. Classical players familiar with the Bach 7E or 7EW piccolo trumpet should compare this model. As with other Lotus mouthpieces, the tone is broader, the articulation is clearer and cleaner, and the high frequencies are no longer flat. [Ideal for the following situations] Players looking for a big, fat, traditional lead sound—think Basie or Sinatra big band recordings. Piccolo trumpeters using a Bach 7E/7EW. Players who prefer a more open-blow reed mouthpiece, such as a GR Bergeron or Schilke 12-14A4. [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. It can be made thin and hard, making it scratch-resistant and able to maintain its beauty.
