LOTUS Trumpets LXS XS Cup Trumpet Mouthpiece
Price:
$169.99
SKU:
ae00-5307^L7XSBA
Manufacturer Part #:
LXS
Features:
**GEN 3 MOUTHPIECES ARE STILL COMING IN STOCK. SOME MODELS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY BUT WILL BE SHIPPED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.**
The LOTUS XS perfectly fits the definition of “screamer.” The good news is that LOTUS has managed to create a “very shallow” mouthpiece that has clear articulation, can still make a big fat sound when asked to and has super secure note targeting accuracy in the upper register. They like to think of the XS cup as a trumpeter’s guilty pleasure. This mouthpiece features the "Marathon Rim," designed by LOTUS Trumpets engineer Nicolò Perina to be as comfortable and forgiving as possible for high-note playing.
Anyone accustomed to using such a shallow cup will really appreciate the improved tone color. It is not often that a player can still sound big and bold on this type of cup only to be able to instantly flip the switch from Zippo to flamethrower without having to use excessive force. The upper register access is very easy and on target at all times. This is a great choice for anyone who has always dreamed of using a “very shallow” cup but gets turned off by the overly harsh tone most other brands create.
Ideal for:
- Lead players looking for maximum shine and super easy upper register access
- Salsa players, Earth Wind and Fire/Stan Kenton level of difficulty, easily hearing yourself on a loud stage
- Making certain everyone knows who is in charge of the ensemble
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
