The LOTUS S cup is what they consider to be their classic/traditional Lead cup. You know the age-old script: “The ultimate lead mouthpiece! It adds extra notes to your range! Has a great, big sound!” This might be the closest you’re ever gonna find.
This mouthpiece produces a surprisingly rich tone for such a shallow cup. Many section players will appreciate that they can more easily match your tone color without having to resort to a shallow mouthpiece themselves while covering the 3rd or 4th book. The sound stays wide open from the highest notes in your range to low F#. This is the kind of lead mouthpiece that other musicians actually like to listen to. The S mouthpiece features the "Marathon Rim," designed by LOTUS Trumpets engineer Nicolò Perina to be as comfortable and forgiving as possible for high-note playing.
Classical players who are accustomed to using a Bach 7E or 7EW on piccolo will find this cup to be a good comparison. As with all LOTUS mouthpieces, the tone will be more broad, the articulation will be clear and clean and the upper register will not go flat.
Ideal for:
- Lead players looking for a big, fat traditional Lead sound. Think Basie or Sinatra recordings with Big Band
- For piccolo players coming from Bach 7E or 7EW.
- For players who prefer a Lead mouthpiece with a more open blow similar to the GR Bergeron or Schilke 12-14A4
Brass:
- Full, well balanced, and sonically well-rounded
- For plenty of players it offers a familiar playing experience
- Will most likely blend with other brands in a section setting
Bronze:
- Added warmth and richness to tone color
- Normal trumpet "brilliance" is held off until Forte (high-end cut)
- Increased note stability
Nickel Silver:
- More focused and brighter sound
- Maximised note targeting
- Extra clarity to articulation
Rim Sizes:
1: Similar rim diameter to a Bach 1/1.25 or Schilke 17/16
2: Similar rim diameter to a Bach 3 or Schilke 14
3:Similar rim diameter to Bach 5 or Schilke 13
7: Similar rim diameter to Bach 7 or Schilke 11
9: Similar rim diameter to Bach 10 or Schilke 6
11: Similar rim diameter to Bach 10.5 or Schilke 5
**LOTUS mouthpieces are machined from solid brass, bronze, or nickel silver and are then silver plated and covered with the LOTUS Golden coating, which is scratch resistant and hypoallergenic..**
