      Previously I used a Yamaha Miyashiro for my big band work. It was a fantastic horn, but I wanted something with a darker, warmer timbre...something that sounded like my Committee, but played with the response and tonal accuracy of the Miyashiro.

      Last June I attended a Lotus demo day, played a Solo Max, and fell in love. A couple months later I put my deposit in, and got in line. This past Saturday, it arrived. It's gorgeous and plays as beautifully as it looks.

      Are there any other North American Lotus trumpet owners out there?
