A standard-sized trumpet with major LOTUS upgrades, and a warm sound signature.  An excellent choice for all types of players who want a traditional-sized horn with a very rich tone.  

BELL

Shape:  

  • Standard-sized taper

  • Bell diameter: 130mm (5.12")

Stem:  Yellow Brass  

Flare:  Phosphor Bronze

The Universal produces a surprisingly warm and full-bodied sound for its size, thanks to the slightly thicker bell and its phosphor-bronze flare.  The bell is 0,1 mm thicker compared to its brighter and more traditional sounding cousin, the Classic.  The bell shape is inspired by the 37, but we’ve worked our magic on the taper and optimized the intonation.​


Leadpipe

Receiver:

  • Light-weight

  • Machined in Bronze

Leadpipe:

  • Light-weight

  • Machined in Brass

  • 0.6mm (.024") wall thickness

Our leadpipes are machined from a solid rod, to the highest standard of accuracy.  This is a rare and difficult manufacturing process, but it’s worth the extra effort — You get greater note stability and stronger projection.


TUNING SLIDES

Available with 3 Slide Options:

  • Yellow Brass – Most flexible note targets with a traditional sound
    ●  Phosphor Bronze – Gives more stability and a richer, fuller sound
    ●  Nickel Silver – Locks you into the notes and enhances brightness

    The material of the tuning slide matters, a lot.  It greatly affects the sound & feel of the horn.  If you haven’t experienced this before, you’ll certainly will once you try them.


VALVE CAPS

Can Ship with multiple options:

Top Caps:

  • Light

  • Heavy


Bottom Caps

  • Light

  • Medium

  • Heavy  

Each trumpet comes with:
- Light weight top caps
- Medium weight bottom caps

About us

Edinburgh Music centre is the expansion of Brass and Woodwind musical instrument restoration and repair est 2002.

Having studied orchestral instrument restoration in 1995 for 3 years and a further 4 years apprenticeship, I opened Brass and woodwind in a small workshop in south west Edinburgh.

We have grown and now have 3 workshops for brass woodwind and string instruments, along with chemical and ultrasonic cleaning room and a pro polishing room, I believe it to be the finest and best equipped musical instrument restoration workshop in the UK.

We have built a showroom for the huge range of instruments we have restored over the years and now offer a large selection of new and fully reconditioned instruments.

We want to thank everyone who has used the shop and workshops over the last 20 years for your continued and valued custom and invite you to visit Edinburgh Music centre for a very warm welcome and the best range musical instruments and accessories available.
