If you’re thinking about getting a LOTUS mouthpiece in the L cup category, here is a video with a young talented player, Andrew Smith, testing three versions.

The L cup offers a larger, broader sound overall and is a fantastic all-round mouthpieces for a lot of players. Brass is the most popular material for the L cup.

The L2 cup gives you a crisper, more aggressive articulation as well as a more directional sound.

Bronze as a material adds warmth and richness to the tone color. So when you play an L2 cup in Bronze, you get the crisp articulation from the geometry of the mouthpiece, while the Bronze enrichens the sound.

In this case, the L2 cup in Bronze was a clear winner, as it is for many others playing LOTUS Mouthpieces on a traditional Bb trumpet.
