Easy to Play with a Warm, Rich Sound Signature - The Lotus Universal Max Bb Trumpet - Raw Brass

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. 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.




  • With a deeper mouthpiece, like the Lotus XL or XL2 cup, you gain access to an incredibly fat and creamy tone quality.
  • The Lotus M & M2 cups pair very well with this horn, adding shimmering fireworks, while the horn applies a filter of deep, saturated tone color.
  • With the Lotus S, XS & XS2 cups, this horn becomes a beast, giving you an enormous sound for exciting upper-register solos.


Bell: 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 is 0,1 mm thicker compared to its brighter and more traditional sounding cousin, the Classic. The bell shape is inspired by the 37, but we’ve worked our magic on the taper and optimized the intonation.​

Leadpipe: Lotus leadpipes are machined from a solid rod, to the highest standard of accuracy. This is a rare and difficult manufacturing process, but it’s worth the extra effort — You get greater note stability and stronger projection.
