A large & distinctive sound that’s both shiny and warm. The Silver Flare offers a truly unique and sweet trumpet sound.

This is a truly unique and sweet trumpet sound. As with every LOTUS trumpet, it's incredibly stable, but there’s an added level of flexibility and a different range of colors from the rest of their line. A common response from Jazz improvising friends is that they final have a horn that puts everything into one instrument. Note bending in both directions (see Printup videos), dark and creamy tone color for ballads, full throated joy for a shout-chorus and bright/zippy punch for horn section work is all there. All of this is due to the magic combination of the nickel silver leadpipe and sterling silver bell.

This horn is not recommended for lead players (not due to range issues but to tone color and "blow/feel"). Orchestral players in a modern music ensemble or those appearing as a soloist might love the Silver Flare, but Lotus does not recommend this model if the player is required to blend with more conventional sounding trumpets in a section context.

Of all the people who fell in love when Lotus unveiled this model at ITG '19, Marcus Printup is the one that they were most excited about. Having such a well-rounded and soulful player choose one of our horns to define his voice is a very gratifying honor, and this horn's distinctive blend of warm fatness in the core surrounded by an icy sheen really fits his voice perfectly.
