When I played trumpet, the whole neighborhood chipped in on state-of-the-art silencing technology. They were very generous and made it clear that no expense was too much to silence my playing.
I got my mute tube last week and I am sooo happy. I was surprised that it reduces the volume so much, but the best thing is that I get a free airflow. With Silent brass or other practice mutes, I feel too much resistance.
I decided to buy a silent brass, which cost me $200 on Amazon. At first, I liked it, then I realized that playing with it was extremely difficult, as the resistance was FAR too high. Needless to say, 3/10 purchase. Might pick up a Mute Tube.
@@carsaboy6544 what generation of silent brass was it, because the second gen has significantly reduced resistance. The mute tube is likely better for that, but the silent brass isn't totally useless because of its air resistance
@@carsaboy6544 I’m still using my silent brass 2 for over 2 years now, I feel the resistance has actually helped with my volume and sound when playing compared to before I got the mute
It's funny to see this, over the most recent 8 month lockdown we had, I finally made something like this. But with a cardboard box. I out the acoustic padding inside. And then a small formula tin with some more padding inside that and just out the horn in similarly with the bell against the opening of the tin. It works well enough, but doesn't look nearly as sophisticated as this one! Well done!

I don't see why you put air quotes around trumpet players. I've played the trumpet for nearly 8 years now and I only first used a practice mute just last year.
Might be a bit of a challenge making getting the size etc. right but I can see this working for tuba and possibly euphonium. I live in an apartment. I'm stuck using my Silent Brass Mute for my euphonium (just using the practice mute part) with my tv on a bit as the acoustics is way too loud to play 'open'.
as you have a free air flow this system can be better than normal mute, but i think it’s more important to have no body movement limitation. If the problem is the sound, I use the yahama system: light pick-up (100g) very little device, affordable and easy to transport.
Hola, te felicito, me parece una super maravillosa idea, ya que en esta Pandemia el estudiar en casa a sido un caos, sobretodo con vecin@s que no comprenden nuestro que hacer. Me gustaría saber si has pensado en una idea para clarinete o esta cámara sirve para este instrumento. Me gustaría leer tus respuestas y cuanto vale, como obtenerla, etc. Saludos.
Anything you stick in the bell changes resistance. One has to practice with all their mutes so as to gain a professional level of knowledge of how each one changes pitch and resistance for certain short-term requirements, HOWEVER, practicing in a mute more often than open horn will eventually result in chipping notes and loss of confidence when it's time to play open-horn with a full ensemble, especially anything from about the 5th harmonic on up. Accuracy is enough of a challenge as it is, but too much playing in mutes can result in making it harder than playing French horn. "Practice mutes" are really only good for short-term woodshedding, occasional chop maintenance, warming up backstage, etc. But it's also not good to play in a dead, insulated room all the time, so playing into a pillow cave or a closet full of clothes or something like this product is also going to result in a loss of inspiration over time, potentially cause overblowing/inappropriate aperture size, a distorted concept of ideal tone, etc., because of the lack of resonant feedback. There is really no perfect long-term "substitute" for practicing any instrument regularly in an acoustically-favorable space, but it's particularly harmful to trumpet players' physiology. The inspirational brilliance of the natural tone of the instrument+musician is perhaps even more important to long-term development than simply playing things technically correct. Sounding dull, muffled and lifeless all the time confounds our ability and necessity to develop our tone in conjunction with technical proficiency. Indeed, the rarer ability to play well in the extreme high range of the trumpet is a product of the development of tone - not the other way around.
The Basic model reduces sound by 25DB, but the pro version (with mic) is ‘greater than’ 25 db. I am trying to figure out if this is due to the depth of the mute box, or the sound-dampening materials…
Unfortunately, a mute cannot always reduce 25 dB. Decibels are measurements on intensity and are on a logarithmical scale, which means reducing +/- 3 dB means reducing it with half of the intensity. If one trumpet sounds 100 dB, 2 trumpets playing with the same intensity sound 103 dB together. 4 trumpets would sound 106 dB, etc... 25 dB is about than 8 times 3, so reducing 24 dB means you divide by 2 8 times, thus sounding with 1/256th of the intensity. This does not sound as 1/256th of a trumpet, no matter what this reader says. Also, the intensity of sound is very much depending on the distance too, as intensity decreases with the distance squared.
muting for practice might be ok, but I have serious doubts about the quality of the sound being recorded by this mic put inside the tube. It probably is completely flat and doll , lacking or killing some frequencies in the spectrum. I dont think this device could ever be used to make any quality recording from a live performance.
Just get a shhmute they are a lot cheaper and do just as well of a job plus they take up less space and you can take them places like hotels so you can practice while traveling
Not sure if anyone’s heard of this. But I discovered a revolutionary object that when stuck into the bell of a trumpet, it makes the sound softer. I’m thinking of calling it a “mute”. patent pending…

@daniel LOL, and yet you commented. Best wishes for better days ahead.
I should try your technique. Can't wait for my free mute tube!
Me too
But they did let you play, that is nice of them tho

Was going to like this but it was at exactly 100 and didn’t want to mess it up
What if

This is what our band needs! The wood winds will finally be heard.
I will relay that message to the flutes, lol.
Its hard the notes don't sound the same the reeds stop vibrating it dosen't sound good so we can't play louder

@@C4pt41nN3m0 That’s very impressive, though I’m somewhat skeptical of that. Were you listening to them with they’re bells pointing towards you?
You should make a video comparing this product with other practice mute on the market
Many thanks for the input. We'll take that into account in the next video
I'm pretty sure this is more than a practice mute, this is intended to isolate the instrument for recording sessions.
@@adamf.4823 the recording detail est rather an additional feature
this silencer will be very helpful in trumpet sniping
How well would this fit in my .45 acp Smith and Wesson trumpet
I had an excellent experience with the Mute Tube. It is so comfortable to practice with and I don't feel any resistance. I absolutely recommend it.
I think my concert band needs this.
The amount of "trumpet players" in the comments who dont know about free airflow is pretty astounding
I don't see why you put air quotes around trumpet players. I've played the trumpet for nearly 8 years now and I only first used a practice mute just last year.
that’s cool but i ain’t getting that goofy ass thing i’ll just use a practice mute

I LOVE books
Very cool now can you do it for my sousaphone please?
Can you make one for French horn? Got to be very clever, must accommodate the hand! Will be unique and sell well.
'Accommodating the hand' is what makes it dangerous to kiss a French horn player, too...
I feel like unless a major price difference a silent brass may be the same if not better
Mute tube gives less resistance
@@raul-ue1sq And far less freedom of movement too!
Let me make you my guest, and light up the runway with something from my personal collection...

....not sure I get this. Trumpets already have amazing mutes that allow the player to play quite powerfully while barely making a sound.

@@furcifer8218 Ah...fair enough! I'm a sax player and as such- no mutes other than the ability to utilize dynamics, lol. Thanks for the info.

Ok I play the tuba, is there one for them as well?
Copping one for my friend
i just stick an empty pepsi bottle in the bell, cheap and trusty
It doesn't look like you could fit a ribbon mic in there though :(
What about Cornet? I dont see at all why this couldn't be a object for the Cronet as well
I wonder how this would work on vocals recorded in rooms with poor acoustics
Is it better then surdine?
is there for tuba?
Is there a trombone version of this?
Unortunately not yet. It is still a challenge to design a version which do not to disturb the movement of the slide
Get A mute
Any plans for a Souzaphone model? If you put a bathroom and kitchen in it, it could double as a micro-house for the homeless.
Want it. For my recordings
Or use a mute, same volume no?
Make one for a tuba.
I use a Divitt practice mute. They are the best.
They ought to make one for bagpipes
I need one for trombone, PLEASE
How’s the backpressure/resistance?
is there a mellophone version?
Rất sáng tạo
Does not better silent brass?
Silent Brass has too much resistance.
As a tuba player I feel offended
We need this for saxophone, nothing exist to avoid neighbours complains
I think there is, but it’s pretty large and expensive.
Now make one for a tuba...

TRUMPET SILENCER
forbidden fleshlight.

They're ok. I prefer a Harmon these days.
@@blow-by-blow-trumpet look up “the silencer,” Greg Wing. You insert it into a Harmon
Just get silentbrass lol
For reals. It’s way better than this lol
Silent brass introduces a lot of resistance. Not this system
Need some reverb effects
Not good enough, I need a whole room.
Now where’s the trombone version
300€?
The side effect is, that trumpet players don´t move so much anymore ;-)
ONLY A BILLION DOLLARS IM SURE....still less than renting a practice room though 🤣
He lost bach's
screw;;

А ребята то не знают,что есть платяной шкаф...😉
just get a regular mute lmao
Go to Walmart and get a plastic storage tub, cut a hole in the lid and voila!! Same thing!!!

silent brass de yamaha y se abaco jajaja
But we already have a mute for trumpet. What is it, inventing something that's already been invented?

Too big, and it restricts your movement.
