Lotus Gen. 3 Trumpet Mouthpiece w/M2 Cup

What's new?

New Lotus golden coating. It is hypoallergenic, scratch resistant, and will not tarnish. The exact composition of the coating is a trade secret, but we guarantee the characteristics.

The following cup sizes come default with our new "Marathon Rim" shape: M2, S, XS and XS2. The "Marathon Rim" was designed by LOTUS Trumpets engineer Nicolò Perina to be as comfortable and forgiving as possible for high-note playing. Adam Rapa changed his 2M2 and 3S to this new rim shape within a few notes of trying the prototypes. He says it it by far the most comfortable rim shape he's ever felt.

• ​THROAT: M2 = 3.7mm (Between Bach #26-27) + Bach 76 Backbore (tighter)

Ideal for:

• Lead players looking for a similar bright tone, “blow/feel”  bit with a less aggressive energy due to the deeper cup.  Horn section work as well.

• For non-Lead players looking to greatly increase upper register access and a general vibe of “brighter and tighter” but cannot play on “shallow cups”.

• 2nd book players in Big Band who need help keeping up with the Lead player on the Soli sections but still wants a full tone when stepping out for the solo feature spots.

• For any piccolo trumpet with a stuffy or dull tone.
