Lotus Universal Max
A large-belled beast of a horn that turbo-charges the size and power of everything you play.
Great for soloists, but still blends in a section
BELL
5.5" bell with medium large taper.
Stem: Yellow Brass
Flare: Phosphor Bronze
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.
The Yellow Brass stem produces a traditional range of tone colors while the Phosphor Bronze flare adds overall stability, increased projection, and extra richness to the sound. The result of this combination is: A traditional trumpet sound, and MORE OF IT.
Larger bell stems don’t provide quite as much resistance, so you do need to enjoy moving some air. But the horn still has a perfectly moderate bore of 11.7mm (.460") so the slightly more open feel is absolutely no problem for the majority of players.
Receiver: Medium Weight, Machined in Bronze
Leadpipe:
Medium Weight
Machined in Brass
0.9mm (.035") wall thickness
This leadpipe provides an incredibly fast response, enriches your sound with a transparency that adds MORE of whatever you give it, and projects very well in large spaces.
TUNING SLIDES
Comes with 2 Slides:
- Yellow Brass
- Phosphor Bronze
The tuning slide material greatly affects the sound and feel of the horn.
Yellow brass for a bit more zing, Phosphor Bronze for a more lush, rich sound.
