3M2 Trumpet Brass Lotus

Winner - Music Makes a Difference Award

Looking forward to many more years of service
Unlike the multi-purpose M cup, the M2 is a killer. Pure and simple.
This new addition to our menu was designed at the request of players looking for a more fiery, aggressive alternative to the M cup, specifically geared towards lead, studio and commercial playing. It’s just a little bit shallower, has a slightly tighter throat, a different backbore design, and only comes in nickel silver — all of which contribute to this mouthpiece being a deadly weapon.
Much more so than with the M cup, this one really sounds more like a lead mouthpiece — BUT, it’s still got more volume than actual lead cups, so it’s perfect for players who “can’t play lead mouthpieces”. That makes it absolutely perfect for playing all those big band high-note ballads that still require low/middle register playing. It brings more richness and the opportunity for more musical nuance than a categorically ""Lead"" mouthpiece, but still lights up the sky like New Years Eve!
It’s also an excellent tool for Pop & commercial playing. It gives you articulations like armor-piercing bullets, and laser-guided note targets for sharpshooting the most dangerous phrases. ( I ❤️ metaphors )
If either of those types of playing are in your job description: Try. This. Mouthpiece.
