New in the box, and ready for your practice needs, A Yamaha SB79 Silent Brass for Trumpet, Cornet, Flugelhorn, and even Alto Trombone. Yamaha’s SILENT Brass is a trumpet mute that when used properly allow the performer to listen to themselves while practicing at full volume but muting the sound to everyone else in the room. The Yamaha Silent Brass comes in two main pieces. The mute piece of the system is black plastic and seals into the trumpet bell nice and snug.
It’s very lightweight, and adds very little to the overall weight of the instrument when in place. On the end of the mute is a standard headphone jack which connects with a wire (included) to a beltpack receiver (known as the Personal Studio) that serves as a kind of an audio mixer with reverb effects. When it’s turned on the audio can be switched to one of two different reverb levels. The first being a plain, fairly dead room and the second giving the reverb effect of playing in a large performance hall. From the belt pack a user can connect a pair of headphones and optionally add a secondary input into the mix such as the audio from an MP3 player or other device allowing them to practice while listening to the accompaniment for their performance.
