It possesses overwhelming sound projection capabilities, filling every inch of both large and small spaces.
Its thick, creamy, warm tone is affectionately known as "dark chocolate" at Lotus.
LOTUS TRUMPES
[Bell]
Shape: Medium-narrow taper
Bell diameter: 137mm (option: 130mm)
Bell stem: Yellow brass
Bellflare: Phosphor Bronze
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]
Receiver: Lightweight, machined from bronze
Leadpipe: Lightweight, machined bronze, 0.6mm thick.
We manufacture our leadpipes in-house, maintaining precise taper and pipe thickness. This makes it easier to aim for the desired sound, enhances precision, and results in a richer tone.
[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 options above.
[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.
Like high-quality dark chocolate, this sound contains many bright and fruity tones. At the same time, it's rich in cocoa butter, resulting in a full-bodied and fat sound for every note you play. In short, this instrument is full of lustrous overtones.
While it produces a body-like sound, it has earned the nickname "Dark Chocolate" for its incredible richness and warmth across all tones and dynamics. It's not recommended for orchestras or reed players, but it would be perfect for jazz soloists or non-classical players who prefer an oversized bell.
When combined with Lotus's XL or XL2 cups, you can feel the richness of the sound. But the truly amazing thing about this model is that it can produce a rich, full-bodied sound with the medium cup. The M cup filters the model's deep, vibrant, and full sound, launching sparkling sonic fireworks to the ceiling.
This model offers astonishing stability and agile playability, giving you the musical wings to explore places where you might not have the courage to try with a typical oversized bell horn.
