@@JonathanMilam1 Imagine me, finding this device today, after not playing for 40 years because, you know, reasons related to neighborly respect and such... wow! I calculated I'll need 120 to 160 years of back-practice to catch up to deal with, you know, 3-4 days per day missed! 😮💨
SB1J(tuba), SB2J(Euphonium), SB3J(French Horn), SB5J(Tenor Trombone), SB6J(Flugelhorn), SB7J(Trumpet & Cornet) where has all this bundle of solutions been all my life!
I think the Yamaha silent mutes are the quietest mutes available. Kudos to Yamaha. Personally, I use the Wallace Studio, I think it has a little less back pressure, but for quiet the Yammie takes the cake.
Yes; low notes are fine. The worst thing is, the bottom range is a bit sharp and the top is a bit flat; but this is common to every practice mute I've tried.
Great video Jonathan as usual! I have one of these SB7X later type, as you tested, I think it is amazing! Use it almost every night, you cannot hear it at all outside of the room! There is an earlier version, I think the main difference with the later model is that the mute doesn’t protrude the bell of the trumpet and there is less back pressure and a more natural enhanced sound. A great piece of kit! Thank you for another great demo!👍🏻
With most practice mutes, the low notes are sharp and the high notes are flat; just the way they seem to work. I usually only use alternate fingerings to fit a particular trumpet - and I can't recall which trumpet I used here. :) Good catch however. 2 points for great observation skills - and I'm not kidding. I notiece that and always wonder...'Why?' Was the E at the top of the staff that flat?? :)
How can u tune with this your instrument, or you have to be experienced enough to tune by ear? Is there any tuner that you can combined with silent brass?
Amazon, but it's also at Apple and a few others. Fruition music, they're Hymns. Very good stuff and only .99 apiece for most. Some are $1.25. Unbelievable value. :)
That’s really cool, how you can hear it so clearly through the headset, but hardly any volume in person without headsets on. Impressive~
It's almost magic. :) Really, very interesting study: the deadening of sound. :)

thanks for the informative video!
Glad it was helpful! :)
For the sake of the peace of the neighbors.I'll order silent!Are the lower notes blowing well?
Yes; low notes are fine. The worst thing is, the bottom range is a bit sharp and the top is a bit flat; but this is common to every practice mute I've tried.
@@JonathanMilam1 Thank you very much!It's normal for practice.

momo... You're too kind. :) This is a great option for practicing when not living in a large mansion. Most of us can use this! :)
Super helpful
Thank you; I'm glad to hear it. Take care - and thanks for posting. :)
I noticed you using alternate fingerings when the mute was in. Does the mute detune certain notes?

That's a good question, Vlade. I guess you'd have to tune by ear. I've never had a problem with that, but a good question.
@@JonathanMilam1 thak you sir
Is there any delay to what you are playing with what you hear in your headphones or is it instantaneous as if there was no mute there?
Great question. There is no doubt a fractional delay due to wire length, etc., but it is unnoticeable to my ear. Very good question.
Thank you for information
My pleasure, Daniel. and thank you for commenting. :)
What is the power source? Battery, or plug in?
Great question. Can't believe I failed to mention. Two AA Batteries (or were they AAA?). Small batteries, anyway. :)
Hello. For the silent brass mute do i need to have the personal studio?
No; you can use the mute by itself. it is VERY quiet, so just don’t over blow trying to hear yourself.
Nice background. Where did you purchase the background?
Amazon, but it's also at Apple and a few others. Fruition music, they're Hymns. Very good stuff and only .99 apiece for most. Some are $1.25. Unbelievable value. :)
I had the previous version and kept getting tangled up in the cables! Maybe they could make a Bluetooth version?
Cables... yes, the hook-ups can be quite interesting. And again, yes; bluetooth would be so cool for little PA systems, these little mutes, etc.
