Lotus Gen. 3 Trumpet Mouthpiece w/L2 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.

Ideal for:

• A player looking for Bach 3C/5C/7C with a turbo boost

• A player who wants the bigger cup volume of the 1 1/4C but needs a more narrow rim like our 2, 3 or 7

• Gaining upper register access and increased endurance of a 1 1/2C but without the loss in breadth of sound. 

• In Nickel Silver, this cup lights up and becomes very nearly on fire.
