Adam Rapa demonstrating is my favourite kind of content.

Just yesterday, I ordered my first Lotus mouthpiece. Played on a direct competitor's since 2013 now, and I have fully outgrown it and Trumpet has not been fun for over a year now. I have researched Lotus for almost 1 year now! I have likely watched nearly every 'findable' Lotus video on the interest from recent years + rewatched some. Following this, since January, I have been back and forth on Instagram with many folks who help customers! Got me narrowed down, now it's up to me to decide through play-feel, when the delivery is fulfilled. This particular video ABSOLUTELY solidified my purchase. I LOVED this video, and I am so damn excited that I ordered yesterday.

Now even more - I want to buy a Lotus mouthpiece!

Got one. Good but nothing exceptional.

Just bought a 3M to play second trumpet in my commercial style horn band. We cover Tower of Power, Chicago, Stevie Wonders, EWF, and such. Can’t wait to try it out!

Amazing learning here❤❤❤

Lotus gotta catch them all! Great and awesome mouthpieces.

number 1 fantastic

Hi Im from the Philippines, been watching your contents, and have learned a lot from Lotus Trumpets, especially from sir Adam Rapa. I have a Beginner trumpet and a customized Generic 7C mouhpiece. I want to improve more as a player and be like Sir Adam Rapa, but finance has been a problem for me to purchase or upgrade my instrument.

What a sound. Big hug from brussels

Bravo. Cuando venís a España de nuevo?

This video perfectly explains why I have four lotus mouthpieces 😅 3XL2B,3L2N,3MB and 3M2NHC!! B=bronze

Very good and detailed demonstration. I fell in love with the Lotus mourhpieces. Does anyone know what trumpet did Adam use in this video?

This video is correct.

I’ve been playing on a Lotus 3L , pre-Covid and I can honestly say it has improved my tone quality and middle, upper register tone as well. Actually I practice some on a lead pipe made by Bach, TR 500 and that was crazy how much better that mouthpiece played trough that single lead pipe. I still enjoy the Bach 3C at times but the Lotus is my daily driver. Get one you will enjoy the experience Thanks Adam

So happy to hear you are enjoying your 3L!

Sería interesante experimentar una lección entre Adam y el maestro de trompeta alemán Malte Burba.

Im buying this

Achei que seria uma aula, o vídeo começa tocando agudo. Acabei de acordar 😅

Theo Charlier’s trumpet etude no. 2

I mean he's not wrong the tuning c on my bach ab190s stad is so sharp. This compared to my Dad's 200 dollar student trumpet is atrocious. But hey only spend 400 on it cause I got it from a friend

So accoding to Adam lotus is the only equipment that plays in tune and accurately.

Not quite. I believe a more fair understanding of his statements is that the majority of the current pro brands(bach, yamaha, stomvi, etc) play with varying levels of out of tune harmonic series and less stable dynamic range. I personally have found this to be an accurate statement. Players familiar with the flaws of the modern equipment are likely already aware of the companies that have made an effort to correct the equipment flaws like Monette, Harrelson and maybe some I'm not aware of.

​@Selective-indifference go listen to stomvi spokeperson, he swears that his horns are made to be in tune. I can say the same for lots of top trumpet brands. All of them are claiming their horns are standouts 🤷🏾‍♂️It's a competition, it's marketing. Adam is a great salesman. What a way to convince better when you are a topnotch trumpet player. 🤓🎺

Por que todo trompetista é viciado em notas agudas?

it may be the recording, but that sound isn't exactly what I want to hear when I hear a trumpet... 🎺

Same, I am not really used to hearing some notes actually in tune. It’s even more obvious on a C trumpet.

Imagine practicing trumpet 20 years to affirm that Bach trumpet is out of tune. I mean, we are talking about Bachs legacy

If you really are a scientist the pitch tests should be done by an independant tester. That is the basic of scientific approach.
