- Meet Jack Lyons, a very talented player from Ashburn, Georgia. Like many of you, Jack used to play a 1-1/2 C.
In this video, you’ll see his play-testing session trying relevant options from the LOTUS line.
We wish you the best of success in your musical endeavors moving forward, Jack! Let us know if there’s anything more we can do for you.
Just ordered a 2L HC and 8 weeks delivery cannot come quickly enough. I’m pumped to give these pieces a try!
Jack Lyons is a BEAST. Glad I got to spend some time with him at FSU before graduating
I think the Bach sounds just as good but has a different tone. IMO
Not only are great for trumpet nerds, but adam shows some serious salesmenship skills 🤔
having watched a few of these I'm thinking it's about 80% salesmanship.
Very good player. Sounds great.
That Nickel silver pops so beautiful ❤️
Nice upper resonance and the core sound is focused and consistent.
Lotus sounds smoother and sweeter. I like!
Soooo...what if he did all those suggested things on his original mouthpiece?
Not saying Lotus gear isn't top notch!!
I know way too many great players using Adam's stuff!
I'm just wondering if there isn't a little more something about concepts of sound production, and being reminded about playing efficiently and in the center of the horn PRIOR to changing gear?
That's all I'm saying.
Starting at 6:18 it sounds like a really nice violin
Please do a video comparing lotus and Monette mouthpieces because Adam has knowledge of both worlds. 🤓🎺
Agreed, I have a Monett Resonance and would like to here a comparison by him
Adam created LOTUS in direct response to Monette sticking to his philosophical guns with regards to throat sizes and backbore tapers. The only purpose such a video would serve would be to confirm that Adam prefers what he has created for himself. The points of difference are clear: LOTUS are a lot easier to play in terms of endurance and have at worst the same level of intonation accuracy (but keep it farther into the upper register) than Prana and have a more full and resonant tone....that can be tweaked to default warmer or brighter with one of three alloy options.
Have been struggling to choose either 2L or 2L2 for long.. Is 2L better if preferring sharper rim shape/higher alpha angle?
What's the difference between Lotus MP and Monette Unity MP？
Everything! The designs and geometry are completely different in every way.

Ok if you're so confident ....
Please Show me compared Lotus MP vs Monette Unity MP video！✌️
@@trumpetrumept Adam was a long time Monette Artist. He left to create LOTUS and make gear that he prefers. There is no need for a video like that because what we are doing does't compare to what Monette is doing. Where are happy to recommend a model for you to try that compares to what you have now.

What's the Lotus equivalent to a 3c?
The Lotus 2L2HC in Brass is the direct comparison
Hello Adam! Would you help me ? I'm a trumpet student and I have thick lips... both the lower and upper are huge. I use a 1 1/2c mouthpiece, but I still don't feel comfortable... would it be interesting if I use a larger size like 1 1/4c or 1c? Or should I review something in my playing? I thank you! God blesses.
Please write to me (Charley) at mouthpieces@lotustrumpets.com Better to discuss physical features in private;)
Nothing wrong with the sound of his 1.5. Players should switch when it makes their playing easier and when they find a better way to get the trumpet to match the sound in their head, regardless of the mouthpiece. Audience could not care less. I love watching the players play but I cannot stand Adam's input.
I'd love to see a blind comparison between Lotus, Monette, Back, Adams and whoever else wants to participate. I will wager there is little to no difference or preference.
Where can one go to try these out next?
You can order directly from us or head in to a dealer: www.lotustrumpets.com/dealers
@@lotustrumpets6739 what's your process for becoming a dealer? I know a store in Michigan that would love to stock some of your instruments and mouthpieces
@@benjaminpiela5210 Ask them to send an email to contact@lotustrumpets.com, or through the contact form on our website. We'll be happy to talk to them!
1:36 whats the name of this piece?
Slavische Fantasie by Carl Höhne
Why no video?
video of what?
Played the C fingerings for Ives on a Bb😨
He didn't have a C and ours is just being finished right now. The point was to test mouthpieces and complicating things with transposed fingers was not a necessary complication to add.
@@lotustrumpets6739 100%; that was me trolling. The 1L is playing great rn though
Bach 1 1/2 C Good! Lotus commercial move?
Lotus 1L2HC Brass is the direct comparison. 1L2 Brass if you prefer the "symphonic" throat/backbore setup.
@@lotustrumpets6739 I play on a Wadge mouthpiece! For me, this is the best mouthpiece.
@@StudioTrumpeter Great that you found something that works for you:)
