LOTUS Generation 3 Mouthpieces

What's new about the Generation 3 mouthpieces?

• Our 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.

• Based on data collected from LOTUS Artists and during many in-person testing sessions with customers, we have settled upon throat sizes and backbore tapers that best serve our customers. HC vs non-HC models have been eliminated and we now offer one model per cup.

• ​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.

If you’re searching for the absolute thickest, darkest, creamiest flugelhorn sound, look no further. This is a flugel soloist's dream. It unlocks a whole other level of depth and richness in high-end instruments, and breathes new life into that cheap old horn you’ve been neglecting since high school.
​
This mouthpiece seems like pure magic. Never has there been a cup so deep, with a sound so enormous, that still offers un-compromised intonation. And between brass and bronze, you get the added novelty of choosing your favorite color palate. Our flugelhorn shanks 100% fit properly into Couesnon flugelhorns. This has been proven true in many many in-person testing sessions.
 
Special Note: This is a very deep cup. Normally that would imply it gets so flat in the upper register that the “high C” is an entire semi-tone off, leaving you with the unenviable choice of either fighting like hell to make it work above the staff, or simply not going there at all.  Well, that’s absolutely not an issue here. High C’s & D’s are still effortlessly in-tune, and the cup also grants access above that to folks with the skill and desire to do so.

LOTUS XL cup is a "very deep" cup that comes in rims 1,2,3 and 7 in Brass or Bronze
