SILVER FLARE

It can make you laugh, sigh, and even make the blues weep. A brilliant, large, and distinctive sound.

 

Ideal for jazz and contemporary soloists, such as Lotus artists Marcus Printup and Ryan Nielsen.

 

LOTUS TRUMPETS

[Bell]

·receiver

Medium weight
Made of bronze, machined

This bell features a slender taper, offering excellent control. The brass bell body produces a traditional tone, while the phosphor bronze bell flare delivers a rich tone at any volume.
Because the bell flare diameter is slightly larger than that of a typical trumpet, it can produce a sound that has more core and a broader, more expansive tone.

[Leadpipe]

Medium weight
Made of brass, machined
Pipe thickness 0.9mm

We manufacture our lead pipes in-house, ensuring precise taper and pipe thickness.
It makes it easier to aim for the sound you want, improves accuracy, and results in a richer sound.

[Tuning Slide]

There are three options.
Yellow Brass
Phosphor bronze
Nickel Silver

The material of the tuning slide greatly affects the tone and playing feel.
You can choose two from the above options.

[Valve cap]

There are several options.
• Top cap
Light
heavy

• Bottom cap
Light
medium
Heavy cap (for valve 3)

Each model comes with a lightweight top cap, a medium-weight bottom cap, and one heavy bottom cap.

This is a very unique and sweet trumpet sound. Like other Lotus trumpets, it is stable, but it also has a flexibility and tonal variation that is completely different from other products.
My friends who play jazz improvisation often tell me, "By picking up this one instrument, I was able to bring everything together."
It has it all: the dark, creamy tone of ballads, the joy of fully expressing shout choruses, and the bright, crisp, punchy sound of horn section work. All of this is thanks to the magical combination of nickel silver leadpipes and pure silver bells.

This model is not recommended for lead players (not because of range issues, but because of tone and playability). Orchestral players participating in contemporary music ensembles or soloists may like the Silver Flare. This model is not recommended for players who need to blend with more orthodox-sounding trumpets in a section.

When we unveiled this model at the 2019 International Trumpet Guild, we were thrilled to hear Marcus Printup play it. It is a great honor that a player like him has chosen our instrument to express his "voice." The instrument's characteristic warm, fat, and icy sound is a perfect match for him.
