Lotus Silver Flare

A Large, Distinctive Sound with Lots of Shine. Ideal for Jazz and Contemporary soloists.

BELL

Shape:  Medium-Large Taper

Final Diameter: 140mm (5 ½")

Stem: Yellow Brass  

Flare: Pure Silver

This bell has a moderately-shaped taper throughout, but it's just a bit larger than average, which makes it great for producing a massive amount of sound and a lot of flexibility.

The final flare diameter is oversized compared to common trumpets, which helps give the sound a wider projection and a richer core to the sound.

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

Soloists looking for a wide range of expression with a unique palate of colors will find lots to love about this horn.  

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

Leadpipe:

Medium Weight

Machined in Nickel Silver

0.9mm (.035") wall thickness

This leadpipe provides an incredibly fast response, helps stabilize note targets, and adds a brilliant sheen to the sound.

​Nickel Silver creates a similar effect when used for mouthpieces and leadpipes, so everything you read about our Nickel Silver mouthpieces can be applied here as well.  

​With the bell flare of this horn being made of pure Silver, there was a need to balance that soft material, and the relative instability it can bring to the overall playing qualities if left unchecked. The stabilizing & focusing qualities of our Nickel Silver leadpipe work perfectly to counteract any loss of those qualities, which allows us to present a horn that's just as easy to play as our other models, yet has an entirely different range of timbres.
