The Fabulous Lotus Universal Trumpet!

If you're looking for a trumpet with a warm sound that blends well with others, check out the Universal model! It is a standard-sized trumpet with major LOTUS upgrades, and a warm sound signature. An excellent choice for all types of players who want a traditional-sized horn with a very rich tone. Lotus machines their own leadpipes to ensure accuracy of proper taper and wall thickness, which they say results in superior note targeting, accuracy and enriches your sound. The Universal produces a surprisingly warm and full-bodied sound for its size, thanks to the slightly thicker bell and its phosphor-bronze flare. The bell shape is inspired by the 37, but we’ve worked our magic on the taper and optimized the intonation.​

 

What Lotus says:

If you’re looking for a great all-round, standard-sized trumpet with a warm, rich tone color, the LOTUS Universal is a great choice.

It’s as easy to play as the Classic, with the only difference being its warmer, richer sound signature.


 

Put in a deep cup (LOTUS L2, L, XL2, XL) and you'll fit right into the orchestral section or wind band.  For Jazz players, it’ll add a dose of creamy richness to your solos.

 

Use a medium-depth mouthpiece (LOTUS M2, M) for a brighter sound that keeps up with the Lead player and has no trouble being heard on a loud stage. Excellent for solos, performing in a small group, or in an acoustic setting. Put in a shallow mouthpiece (LOTUS S, XS, XS2) for a bright Lead sound with a fat, beautiful core.  If you have a naturally bright sound, the Universal model can help to round that out.

 

As with every LOTUS instrument, you get more output for the energy you put in.  
​
Just like the Classic, the Universal is a ML bore horn with a "feel/blow" similar to what most players expect from ML bore horn of standard weight.
​
If you're dreaming of having a big & warm sounding horn with a standard sized bell that’s as easy as possible to play, the Universal is for you.
