LOTUS trumpet mouthpiece 1L bronze, silver plated

LOTUS trumpet mouthpiece 1L bronze, silver plated

For many Classical & Jazz players, both superheroes & novices alike, this cup has the ideal balance of characteristics, with a gorgeous spectrum of tone colors, superior intonation, and auto-pilot note slotting.

Players currently using any C cup (1¼, 1½, 3, 5 or 7) will find our L, L2 & L3 cups to be the most comparable in terms of depth and tonal qualities, each with their own specific strengths. The L cup is especially well-rounded and versatile, for all types of playing.

A huge difference compared to cups of a similar depth from other brands is how shockingly open and easy your upper register feels. For Classical players this means there’s no need to switch to something shallower for more extreme circumstances and/or piccolo playing. For improvisers, you’ll be able to take bigger risks with greater confidence thanks to its incredibly obvious note targets.

Special Note: If you have always wanted a big 1¼ C cup sound but need a narrower rim diameter like the 3C, 5C or 7C, the LOTUS L cup is for you. Achieve a full, round tone with better articulation clarity, blending perfectly in any Classical or Jazz context, on whichever rim fits you best.
