**GEN 3 MOUTHPIECES ARE STILL COMING IN STOCK. SOME MODELS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY BUT WILL BE SHIPPED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.**
The LOTUS M cup deserves special attention from the huge percentage of players who are a little less “specialized” in their musical context and simply need a cup that is neither too deep nor too shallow, produces a full and colorful tone that is neither too shiny nor too dark and offers a BIG boost into the upper register compared to any C cup.
The M cup is perfect for a Classical player who needs some more sizzle when playing things like West Side Story or Star Wars, or for effortless piccolo playing. It lets Jazz players tear through an army of other instruments on stage while maintaining a fat, rich sound; perfect for Trumpet Hero moments or turning heads in a 2nd Line parade on the streets of New Orleans.
The backbore is designed to further fatten up the tone, so while it's roughly the size of a D cup, it sounds as big as a C cup, only brighter. This makes it a great option for Lead players accustomed to shallower cups who want to add more depth to their sound, both for solos and milder section parts, without losing that lovely sparkle.
Special note to teachers: This is the top choice for beginners and for students who are not going to be Classical musicians and simply need help playing higher but with a full sound that works perfectly for Wind Ensemble, Solo recitals, Big Band and Marching Band.
Ideal for:
- Beginner or young student who needs help adding range to maintain interest in playing
- Piccolo trumpet players who would love to get away from a overly bright and nasal tone quality
- Musical theater, commercial work, studio session where range and good tone are very important
- Players who normally use something a little more shallow who are not Lead players and really would love a much bigger sound but keep the upper register boost.
Brass:
- Full, well balanced, and sonically well-rounded
- For plenty of players it offers a familiar playing experience
- Will most likely blend with other brands in a section setting
Bronze:
- Added warmth and richness to tone color
- Normal trumpet "brilliance" is held off until Forte (high-end cut)
- Increased note stability
Nickel Silver:
- More focused and brighter sound
- Maximised note targeting
- Extra clarity to articulation
Rim Sizes:
1: Similar rim diameter to a 1/1.25C
2: Similar rim diameter to a 3C
3:Similar rim diameter to a 5C
7: Similar rim diameter to a 7C
9: Similar rim diameter to a 10C
11: Similar rim diameter to a 10.5C
**LOTUS mouthpieces are machined from solid brass, bronze, or nickel silver and are then silver plated and covered with the LOTUS Golden coating, which is scratch resistant and hypoallergenic..**
