UNIVERSAL MODEL
The warm, rich tone emanating from the large, heavy trumpet
Within the section, it blends seamlessly with the ensemble, yet in solo moments, it delivers presence and energy in any style.
Highly recommended for lead playing and commercial performances.
LOTUS TRUMPETS
【Bell】
Shape: Medium Taper
Bell diameter: 130mm
Bell stem: Yellow brass
Bell Flare: Phosphor Bronze
The bell is slightly thicker than the CLASSIC model and uses different materials. The yellow brass bell stem reproduces a sound you'll recognize. The phosphor bronze bell flare produces a stable tone with a fuller core.
Compared to its brighter, standard-sounding cousin (CLASSIC), it possesses a richer, warmer, and more full-bodied tone.
【Lead Pipe】
Receiver: Lightweight, machined bronze
Lead Pipe: Lightweight, brass machined, wall thickness 0.6mm
We manufacture our own lead pipes, ensuring precise taper angles and wall thicknesses.
It makes it easier to target the desired sound, enhances precision, and delivers a rich sound.
【Tuning Slide】
There are three options.
Yellow Brass
Phosphor bronze
Nickel silver
The material of the tuning slide significantly affects the tone and feel of playing.
You may choose two from the above.
【Valve Cap】
You can choose from the following options.
・Top cap
Light or Heavy
・Bottom cap
Light or Medium or Heavy
It is common to install one lightweight top cap and two medium-weight bottom caps, along with one heavy-weight bottom cap on the third valve.
Each model comes with a lightweight top cap set, a medium-weight bottom cap set, and one heavy bottom cap.
A new recipe for the classic "Universal Model." When we combined the 37-style bell shape with our signature bell material—a two-piece bell featuring a brass stem and phosphor bronze flare—we knew this model had earned its place on our menu.
Like the Classic, the Universal is an ML bore model, offering the playing feel many players expect from a standard weight ML bore instrument. Yet the sound produced by this trumpet is far richer, warmer, and more expansive than that of a 37/43 bell style instrument.
Using a shallow mouthpiece (LOTUS S, XS, XS2) allows you to achieve a focused reed sound and mask the "ear-piercing brightness" often associated with standard trumpet models.
Using the medium-shallow mouthpiece (LOTUS M2, M) maintains the brightness needed to keep up with the lead player, ensuring your sound is clearly audible even on loud stages, while producing a much fuller and richer sound.
Ideal for solo and improvisational moments, or for small ensembles and acoustic performances.
The deeper cups (LOTUS L2, L, XL2, XL) are perfect for orchestral sections and wind ensembles. For jazz, they add a creamy richness to bop lines.
For those dreaming of an instrument with rich sound yet dissatisfied with the drawbacks of playing a large bell—sacrificing range, accuracy, or stamina, or finding the sound monotonous—Universal is the perfect solution.
