LOTUS TRUMPES
【Bell】
Shape: Medium Narrow Taper
Bell diameter: 137mm (Optional: 130mm)
Bell stem: Yellow brass
Bell Flare: Phosphor Bronze
This bell features a narrow taper for superior control. The brass bell body produces a traditional tone, while the phosphor bronze bell flare delivers a rich sound at any volume.
Compared to a standard trumpet, the slightly larger bell flare diameter produces a sound with a solid core and a wide, expansive tone.
【Lead Pipe】
Receiver: Lightweight, machined bronze
Lead Pipe: Lightweight, machined bronze, 0.6mm wall thickness
We manufacture our own lead pipes, ensuring precise taper angles and wall thickness. This makes it easier to achieve the desired sound, enhances precision, and yields a rich, full sound.

Yellow Brass
Phosphor bronze Nickel silver
The material of the tuning slide significantly affects tone and playing feel. You may select two from the options above.

Medium Heavy Cap (for Third Valve)

Like premium dark chocolate, this sound contains plenty of bright, fruity notes. At the same time, it's rich in cocoa butter, making every note you play full and fat. In other words, this instrument delivers a full, resonant sound packed with lustrous overtones.
It produces the body's sound, yet generates an incredibly rich warmth across all registers and dynamics, earning it the nickname "Dark Chocolate." While not recommended for orchestras or lead players, it will be ideal for jazz soloists and non-classical players who prefer oversized bells.
Combining LOTUS XL cups or XL2 cups creates a remarkably rich sound. Yet the truly remarkable aspect of this model is its ability to produce a rich, full-bodied sound even with the medium cup. The M cup, filtering through this model's deep, vivid, and substantial sound, sends sparkling fireworks of sound soaring to the ceiling.
This model offers astonishing stability and agile responsiveness, giving you the musical freedom to explore areas where you might not dare to venture with a typical oversized bell horn.
