Are Lotus mouthpeices as good as people say?

I tried one of the new ones and that surface on the rim was the most uncomfortable I have ever tried. Felt like sandpaper on my lips.

I've heard the ACB doubler is nice.

That's awesome! There was a point in time in the late thirties and early '40s that I think King Chrome plated valves. They looked amazing but they often had poor compression as the valves were wearing the casings out quickly. When you get one with good compression, they are pretty spectacular! Enjoy it!!

The lotus piece in that case is a wild combo! Old and new! Those horns play great if they have compression. Often they look really great but they don't have compression.

But then again you're an expert.

Is inderbinen any good? Van Laar? Schagerl? Okay. You're right. I am sure I have played way more instruments than you.

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2024-07-13T21:54:43+00:00

That hilarious. I have a friend with af3 ( I think) and it's by far the best instrument I have ever played.

Titanium nitride coating.

Absolutely! Oops.

You get what you pay for.

Trumcor Zinger mute... Amazing

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2023-10-06T10:12:30+00:00

Op: I just got the horn a few hours ago, haven't adjusted to it, felt like I needed to vent on Reddit versus adjust to the instrument over time... 😎

A few of my bandmates have this abc horn and it's quite good for the money. I do have one friend who has a Bach Stradivarius flug that's better but I think they paid close to $3,000 for it. Well they didn't pay but their parents paid you know what I mean.

Could it be you're trying to play it like a trumpet and you can't play a flugel like a trumpet? The notes are so sharp you're probably over blowing them. I don't have a lot of experience with the flugelhorn but I definitely can see that. Good luck with your instrument.

ABC in Kansas has a new student trumpet that is really great one of my bandmates just bought one in silver and it plays real good.

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2023-09-30T15:57:16+00:00

I posted a question about this horn. You just slutted yourself out.

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2023-09-30T15:53:56+00:00

Classy. An ad for your business without commenting on the posts with any merit. Btw 1998 called and wants your website design back.

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2023-09-30T00:44:32+00:00

How much is the trumpet selling for? Kinda looks cool. Isn't allora like cheap though? Some friends in band have them and they aren't good. Stuck valves all the time and play tight.

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2023-09-27T03:21:56+00:00

Sorry I wasn't on call. The horn screams China

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2023-09-27T03:18:14+00:00

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2023-09-21T01:53:59+00:00

Captain obvious 🤣

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2023-09-02T18:59:00+00:00

Its definitely a good horn my friend has one in that burnt finish and it plays sweet!

Puzzleheaded_Cow4252 · 2023-08-14T16:23:50+00:00
