Yamaha SB7X-2 Silent Brass System For Trumpet

If you’ve ever practiced in an apartment or at home with family members and roommates around, you’re all too familiar with people asking you to keep the volume down. But with Yamaha’s SB7X Silent Brass System for trumpet — the latest generation of the tool — awkward interactions with your neighbors can be kept to a minimum. Thanks to proprietary Brass Resonance Modeling technology, you can practice like you’re in a deserted concert hall without anyone else knowing. This 3-piece system includes the Pickup Mute for nearly silent playing, a Personal Studio beltpack, and a pair of earbuds to immerse yourself in beautifully modeled sound. Updates to this new model include a micro USB connection, a new player and audience mode, and an electric condenser microphone.

Pickup Mute silences your instrument

The first and arguably most important part of the Silent Brass system is the pickup mute. It dramatically reduces the volume of your horn. It has a pickup mounted inside to capture your sound and transfer it to the Personal Studio Beltpack. Typically, practice mutes add tons of resistance, making you feel like you’re playing into a pool noodle. The designers at Yamaha built the Pickup Mute from the ground up to lessen resistance.
