Description
An amazing Trumpet from Lotus Trumpets
“Light & bright” is pretty much the easiest thing to do well in trumpet design. It was mastered a very long ago and has been copied countless times ever since. Just stick to standard, generic geometry, use a bunch of yellow brass and keep everything thin.
Simply making a horn heavier, as so many companies have shown, most often leads to a dull sound, void of all shiny, sparkly, exciting harmonics unless you play really stinking loud and cash in your endurance too quickly. That’s not adding complexity, it’s just masochism.
The more complex characteristics that a trumpet can take on are endless, but that requires deep work to design. It takes a LOT of R&D to actually create something new and better in some way.
The Lead/Solo is like the best damn vanilla birthday cake you’ve ever had. Mouthpieces and tuning slides do change the color of the frosting, but it always retains its delicious, nostalgic character — perfect for countless occasions; guaranteed to please.
