Lotus Universal 130mm
The Performance Boost of a Formula 1 Car
...with a sound signature that also ‘plays well with others’
Blends perfectly in a section while infusing extra presence & vibrance into your solo moments in any style, but especially Lead & Commercial.
If the majority of your playing happens in ensembles where you're not the only trumpet, this horn is guaranteed to fit in 100%. You'll get the luxurious playing benefits of a LOTUS, while effortlessly maintaining balance & blend within the section.
WARNING:
Please
DO NOT let your colleagues play the horn if you suspect them to be the jealous type.  That would certainly make it harder to keep the peace.  It's best if they think you're working
just
as hard as they are.  ;-)
BELL
Shape:  Medium-Narrow Taper
Final Diameter: 130mm (5.39”)
Stem:  Yellow Brass
Flare:  Phosphor Bronze
This bell is very easy to play, on account of its fairly narrow taper. The brass bell-stem gives the sound a traditional tone-color palate, while the phosphor bronze flare sprinkles fairy-dust on everything; enriching the your tone at every volume.
The final bell diameter is a bit smaller
(130mm / 5.12")
than its 137mm sibling, allowing for a more directional sound.  If you want narrower projection, more like a traditional Lead horn, or you're concerned about blending in a section with a very conservative idea of what a trumpet "should sound like", then the 130mm is the safer choice.
LEADPIPE
Leadpipe Receiver: Lightweight, Machined in Bronze
Leadpipe: Lightweight, Machined in Brass, 0.6mm (.024") wall thickness
This leadpipe stabilizes note targets and enriches your sound with a transparency that adds MORE of whatever you give it.
TUNING SLIDES
Yellow Brass
The tuning slide material greatly affects the sound and feel of the horn.
Yellow brass for a bit more zing, Phosphor Bronze for a more lush, rich sound.
Keep your favorite, and/or purchase additional slides, if you find them useful as well for 9.
