UNIVERSAL
A standard-sized trumpet with major LOTUS upgrades, and a warm sound signature. An excellent choice for all types of players who want a traditional-sized horn with a very rich tone.
BELL
Shape:
-
Standard-sized taper
-
Bell diameter: 130mm (5.12")
Stem: Yellow Brass
Flare: Phosphor Bronze
The Universal produces a surprisingly warm and full-bodied sound for its size, thanks to the slightly thicker bell and its phosphor-bronze flare. The bell is 0,1 mm thicker compared to its brighter and more traditional sounding cousin, the Classic. The bell shape is inspired by the 37, but we’ve worked our magic on the taper and optimized the intonation.
Leadpipe
Receiver:
-
Light-weight
-
Machined in Bronze
Leadpipe:
-
Light-weight
-
Machined in Brass
-
0.6mm (.024") wall thickness
Our leadpipes are machined from a solid rod, to the highest standard of accuracy. This is a rare and difficult manufacturing process, but it’s worth the extra effort — You get greater note stability and stronger projection.
TUNING SLIDES
Available with 3 Slide Options:
-
Yellow Brass – Most flexible note targets with a traditional sound
● Phosphor Bronze – Gives more stability and a richer, fuller sound
● Nickel Silver – Locks you into the notes and enhances brightness
The material of the tuning slide matters, a lot. It greatly affects the sound & feel of the horn. If you haven’t experienced this before, you’ll certainly will once you try them.
VALVE CAPS
Can Ship with multiple options:
Top Caps:
-
Light
-
Heavy
Bottom Caps
-
Light
-
Medium
-
Heavy
Each trumpet comes with:
- Light weight top caps
- Medium weight bottom caps
1 Heavy bottom cap for the 3rd valve.
If you’re looking for a great all-round, standard-sized trumpet with a warm, rich tone color, the LOTUS Universal is a great choice.
It’s as easy to play as the Classic, with the only difference being its warmer, richer sound signature.
Put in a deep cup (LOTUS L2, L, XL2, XL) and you'll fit right into the orchestral section or wind band. For Jazz players, it’ll add a dose of creamy richness to your solos.
Use a medium-depth mouthpiece (LOTUS M2, M) for a brighter sound that keeps up with the Lead player and has no trouble being heard on a loud stage. Excellent for solos, performing in a small group, or in an acoustic setting. Put in a shallow mouthpiece (LOTUS S, XS, XS2) for a bright Lead sound with a fat, beautiful core. If you have a naturally bright sound, the Universal model can help to round that out.
As with every LOTUS instrument, you get more output for the energy you put in.
Just like the Classic, the Universal is a ML bore horn with a "feel/blow" similar to what most players expect from ML bore horn of standard weight.
If you're dreaming of having a big & warm sounding horn with a standard sized bell that’s as easy as possible to play, the Universal is for you.
