B-Stock
What is a B-stock instrument?
A B-stock trumpet is a brand-new instrument that is fully functional and structurally sound but has minor cosmetic imperfections that prevent it from being sold as "A-stock" (i.e., factory first-quality). These imperfections might include:
- Small scratches or scuffs in the finish
- Slight lacquer inconsistencies
- Tiny dents or tooling marks
- Engraving blemishes or plating flaws
Despite these visual flaws, B-stock trumpets play exactly the same as standard models and often come with a full manufacturer’s warranty, though sometimes the finish may be excluded. They're a great way to save money on a professional instrument without compromising on performance.
Lotus Lead/Solo Bb Trumpet
The long-awaited Lotus production model is finally here — and trumpet players everywhere have reason to celebrate. This Lead/Solo trumpet is a lighter, brighter version of the iconic Solo model, featuring the same design cues and internal measurements of the handmade Lotus horns, but at a significantly more accessible price point.
With its oversized 5½" yellow brass bell, machined leadpipe, and dual tuning slides, the Lead/Solo delivers exceptional responsiveness and a sound that is both broad and brilliant. Whether you're soaring in the upper register or blending in a section, this horn gives you the versatility to do it all — without cashing in your endurance.
Why This Trumpet Stands Out
- Same design language as the handmade Lotus horns – but half the price
- Oversized 140mm bell for rich, expansive tone and projection
- Comes with two tuning slides to dial in your preferred brightness or warmth
- Available in three finishes: Silver Plate, Raw/Brushed, or Brushed with Clear Lacquer
- Shipped in the deluxe Lotus trumpet case
- Exclusive North American availability through Ernie Williamson Music
