2XL2 Trumpet Brass Lotus

This mouthpiece has an enormous sound, but compared to our regular XL cup, it’s got more brilliance and a bit less warmth for a more exciting sound, and it grants incredibly easy access to the upper register. While our regular XL is designed to help you achieve softer, rounder articulations called for in delicate Classical playing, and for Jazz players with a mellow concept, the articulations with the XL2 can open up and become more punchy as well, making it the better choice for Jazz players to cut through on the bandstand, or Classical players to really shine! 

The range of tone colors available with this cup is tremendous. At softer dynamics, it’s got the rich, warm tone quality you’d expect from a deep cup. The surprising part is how much power and excitement you can create when you step on the gas! This mouthpiece lets you go from whispering “I love you”’s dipped in dark chocolate to soaring over the ensemble on a monstrous, sparkling ‘double G’! That incredible versatility can really expand the range of your artistic expression, which is why our XL2 is currently the mouthpiece Adam Rapa’s using the most.

For Classical players, it’s ideal for:

• 20th Century & Modern Repertoire

• Demanding pieces like “Alpine Symphony” or “Pines of Rome” / MAHLER!

• American Repertoire (Gershwin, etc.)

• Filmscores (John Williams, etc.) 

• Wind Orchestra

• Any time you need extra help with high notes while maintaining a massive tone

Jazz players: The note targets are enormous, which adds a lot of confidence when improvising. The huge range of tone colors you can create makes it very easy to express yourself with tons of nuance and character. This mouthpiece can absolutely help you add more personality and depth to your sound.

If you love playing on a deep cup, but you still want the same amount of fire you get from a C cup when you go into beast mode, here’s your answer. Bring added richness to your ballad playing while also adding firepower to your Bebop lines and upper register adventures. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, try this mouthpiece!
