Great video - no mucking around. Just straight up allowing us to hear the same thing back to back so we get a real comparison. I’ve got a 2L on the way, very keen!
To me, the 1LB sounds best - a good compromise between the shallower M and the larger XL. I have a 3L and a 7L2 on the way and I'm going to send one of them back, depending which I like more.
I’m not sure if you can give some advise but I got a lotus 2L coming from a Bach 3C which I really enjoy playing on but oddly, notes above third space c with the 2L just don’t come out unlike my 3C
That’s really interesting. I don’t want to make any assumptions about your playing without hearing you, so this is just generic advice. I would say to be sure you aren’t overcompensating with pressure (or even air) as you navigate the horn. Optimize the air compression and center of pitch consistently. OR it’s always possible it’s not the right size for you. I recently switched to the 2M and it’s a magical combination for me! If the advice above doesn’t land for you, let me know more specifically what you’re struggling with!
May have been your style of play or maybe it was the mouthpieces, but I did not like any of them. Sounded much too wispy, like your embouchure was leaking air. I like hard slots and sharp articulation and only the 1M came close, though the tone quality on the 2XL was overall the best. All three a no for me. I'd like to see you try out the new Unity by Monette and maybe Warburton or other very loved or hated mouthpieces.

Appreciate that!! Hope you love your 2L!
I'm looking at getting at 2L - you have probably had it for a while now - what do you think?
Your videos are so thoughtful and helpful. Thank you! 🙏🏾
So glad to hear that!! Really appreciate the feedback 💙💙
Your videos are very thorough. I sincerely appreciate your content.
I appreciate you gettin me hip to LOTUS!
Really digging your sound on the 1LB!
Thank you!! Yea it’s def my favorite, right down the middle between the three
@Kris Johnson you're welcome! I ordered a 3M2 in Nickel a few months ago and I'm hoping it arrives soon because I'm excited to play on it!
Oh snap, I definitely want to hear that!
@@KrisJohnsonMusic I'd love to give you an update whenever it arrives!
Crazy playing, the mouthpieces really bring it out!
What horn do you use, and do you use different mouthpieces for different horns?
Thank you 💙. I’m playing on a Lotus Universal MAX trumpet for all of the examples
good job 👏
🙌🏽

Nice! Since this video I switched to a 2M which is perfect for me
