WHAT IS THE YAMAHA SILENT BRASS SYSTEMS?
The illustration below is of a Silent Brass for Trumpet (SB7X), The mute (PM7X) goes into the bell of the instrument. This mute has a built-in microphone that captures all your sound. An audio cable comes out the mute and plugs into a miniature amplifier (STX Personal Studio Module). Out from the amplifier are headphones that allow you to hear yourself as if the mute were never in the bell!
Another nice feature with the STX is you can input accompaniment music for an MP3, Phone, or CD player, and play along with it.
This system will allow any brass instrument player of any age, from beginner to professional to play their instrument in near silence. This is great for people living in an apartment, condo, townhouse, dormitory, barracks, or even your bedroom. This will be sure to make your neighbors and family members happy when you are playing.
So how quiet is the Silent Brass System and how well does it allow you to keep your proper pitch?
Below are the different types of mutes available.
