The fantastic bell design is the magic behind this very special LOTUS trumpet. Starting with a fairly narrow shape to the bell stem (same as our Classic & Universal models), it provides super easy note-slotting and incredible upper-register stability. Eventually the shape opens up to resemble our “MAX” bell, which broadens the sound incredibly.

The copper bell stem responds with a very warm, creamy tone at softer dynamics and it can take on almost a cornet-like sweetness. This makes it delightful for chamber playing and small group Jazz. But once you step on the gas, the bell shape asserts its nature and erupts into sonic fireworks!

The large phosphor bronze flare projects far and wide, easily filling any space with an enormous array of tone colors, even at a soft volume. If you use a lead mouthpiece, and perhaps also the nickel silver tuning slide instead of bronze, that makes a KILLING lead & commercial sound!

And yet, this same horn paired with a deeper mouthpiece and the bronze tuning slide gives the listener such a warm hug that you’d never suspect it could also be such a potent flame-thrower.

This might very well be the most versatile trumpet on the planet for soloists, and it still does a great job of fitting into sections of standard-fare trumpets. This is Adam Rapa’s favorite model (Ashlin Parker’s too!) and it’s been catching on like wildfire for very good reason; the Solo model is a very special trumpet.
