Trompetenmundstück Lotus 1 M2 Nickelsilver

Unlike the multi-purpose M cup, the M2 is a killer.  Pure and simple. 🔪💀🎺

This new addition to our menu was designed at the request of players looking for a more fiery, aggressive alternative to the M cup, specifically geared towards lead, studio and commercial playing.  It’s just a little bit shallower, has a slightly tighter throat, a different backbore design, and only comes in nickel silver — all of which contribute to this mouthpiece being a deadly weapon. 

Much more so than with the M cup, this one really sounds more like a lead mouthpiece — BUT, it’s still got more volume than actual lead cups, so it’s perfect for players who “can’t play lead mouthpieces”.  That makes it absolutely perfect for playing all those big band high-note ballads that still require low/middle register playing. It brings more richness and the opportunity for more musical nuance than a categorically "Lead" mouthpiece, but still lights up the sky like New Years Eve! 💥

It’s also an excellent tool for Pop & commercial playing. It gives you articulations like armor-piercing bullets, and laser-guided note targets for sharpshooting the most dangerous phrases. ( I ❤️ metaphors ) 

If either of those types of playing are in your job description: Try. This. Mouthpiece. 🔥

NICKEL SILVER

​

• Increased note stability

​

• Quantizes the note targets even more for greater accuracy

​

• More directional, brighter sound

​

• Extra “pop” to your articulations

Great for:

​

• Lead, Commercial & Studio playing

​

• Playing into a microphone vs. acoustic

​

• Anyone looking for maximum help with accuracy

​

• Adding extra life to duller-sounding horns 

​

Nickel Silver adds lots of extra brilliance to your sound and especially 

weaponizes your lead playing when you step on the gas.  

​

100% guilty pleasure.

• ​THROAT: M2 = 3.7mm (Between Bach #26-27) + Bach 76 Backbore (tighter)

Ideal for:

• Lead players looking for a similar bright tone, “blow/feel”  bit with a less aggressive energy due to the deeper cup.  Horn section work as well.

• For non-Lead players looking to greatly increase upper register access and a general vibe of “brighter and tighter” but cannot play on “shallow cups”.

• 2nd book players in Big Band who need help keeping up with the Lead player on the Soli sections but still wants a full tone when stepping out for the solo feature spots.

• For any piccolo trumpet with a stuffy or dull tone.
