BELL

Shape:  

  • Medium-Large Taper

  • Bell diameter: 140mm (5 ½")

Stem:  Yellow Brass  

Flare:  Pure Silver

This is the only bell we produce with an oversized flare of pure Silver, and it has a very different sound signature as a result.  

The silver flare expands the boundaries beyond a normal trumpet sound.

As Marcus Printup's gorgeous playing conveys so well, the best way to describe this tone is that it’s sweet & juicy; rich & thick and also very shiny at the same time.  

Leadpipe

Receiver:

  • Medium-weight

  • Machined in Bronze

Leadpipe:

  • Medium-weight

  • Machined in Nickel Silver

  • 0.9mm (.035") wall thickness

 

We machine our own leadpipes to ensure accuracy of proper taper and wall thickness. 

This results in superior note targeting, accuracy and enriches your sound.

The tuning slide material greatly affects the sound and feel of the horn.

This is a truly unique and sweet trumpet sound.  As with every LOTUS trumpet, it's incredibly stable, but there’s an added level of flexibility and a different range of colors from the rest of our line.

Of all the people who fell in love when we unveiled this model at ITG '19, Marcus Printup is the one that we were most excited about. Having such a well-rounded and soulful player choose one of our horns to define his voice is a very gratifying honor, and this horn's distinctive blend of warm fatness in the core surrounded by an icy sheen really fits his voice perfectly.
