Now I can play past midnight with out my neighbors calling the cops on me
I got my silent brass mute after seeing this video. ITS SO FREAKIN AWESOME. And i plugged it into a guitar amp at my school and it sounded like an electric guitar, is so freakin sick.
I have the older version and I had a real issue with the resistance restricting my high range and tone. It turned into a "if I can play it with the mute, I can definitely play it without". It also made the horn incredibly front-heavy and uncomfortable to hold. Good to know that they fixed those issues. Also, plugging the mute into a guitar amp and playing with the effects is a crazy good time. I once did it for a jazz concert and the audience loved it. Maniacal 4 also used one in their Carry on my Wayward Son video. Carry On Wayward Son - Maniacal 4 Trombone Quartet I may purchase this new one and use my old one as a warm-up mute.
Thank you so much for this review! I've been waiting on this forever!
Thanks for doing the review. My son just started playing the trombone in 6th grade, so it re-kindled my interest as well. I haven't played in 20 years. I bought the Silent Brass System based on your review. I work out of town during the week and live in a camper. So practicing quietly is of great interest. It works great. I don't have to worry about disturbing others at all now. Thanks man.
Thanks for the heads-up great video excellent chops.
BLUE BELLS OF SCOTLAND!!!! YES!! but on another note, it would be awesome for you to play the whole thing :D
Mr. Bill I can not believe you just pulled out The Blue Bells of Scotland like that! You little Arthur Pryor you!
I have the same one, I really liked it so far and I can totally agree with your opinion :)
Thanks! thinking of buying this setup
I love my Silent brass system. I own a Bach Trombone LT42TG50.
I play in a Orchestra and Jazz band here in Tacoma Washington.
I love your videos and your playing.
I think you're Awesome.
God bless.
Thats Great, I also live here in Tacoma Washington
awesome thanx for review !
Great review
This thing is truly amazing!
Can you please do a video with the cool effects you can do with the Silent Brass Mute!!??
I've been wanting to get back to playing trombone but haven't due to apartment living. Bit this will do it! Wish I would've known about this year's ago
Blue bells...play the whole thing for us sometime, will ya ;)
For effects, check out Maniacal4 using a similar system with trombone doing guitar solos
this is amazing
Just wondering if you could help me out, does the trombone silent mute fit the baritone? I’ve decided to play again after 20 years of regrettably not playing but this mute seems a great idea for me to practice with as to not annoy the neighbours at this early stage of me getting back in the saddle.
Hey! How do you connect your silent brass to your tc helcion effect block? Do you use different pre amp that the one that comes with the mute? Are you using minijack to xlr?
Brilliant- thank you.
i just love how you just started playing bluebells of scotland
Chris, do you know if you could feed the silent brass mute's output into a looper like the Boss-RC30 and live loop like that? I don't have the money or know-how to loop with Ableton Live and Push like you, but I'd really like to try it.
You're amazing man! It have been a long time since you last played Bon Jovi, could you do the song "You give love a bad name"? I play trombone and I've always thought it would sound awesome.
What do you think?
BLUE BELLS OF SCOTLAND!!!!!! :D IM PLAYING THAT THIS YEAR!!!!
I've got the previous version but when I play a long time it feel quite heavy. My trombone also lean in front of me because of the weight of the mute. Do you know if this version is lighter than the older one ? Or does it feel too heavy when you play a long time with it ? thanks ;)
My experience with the old one is that it changes the responsiveness of the instrument quite a bit. After using it for a couple of days I was always surprised how much it changes my buzzing technique. So I used the mute rather for practicing and improving my buzzing sound.
Hey, it's amazing! Record Blue Bells of Scotland for us, please!
Hey Christopher Bill, By ANY chance, did you go to the Texas Bandmasters Association Convention (TBA) in Texas? I could have SWORN I passed right by you, but I was a bit shy to see if it was actually you...
I got this the other day and my wife loves it ❤️
So, with the ability to plug into an amp, Yanaha made a modern Mega-Mute? :D
Does this fit bass trombones? Like 9.5" and so on? I tried it at ITF 2014 on large tenors but spaced trying it on my bass bone, sadly.
How loud/quiet is it from an outside perspective, im hoping to use this thing when my band director decides to work with the clarinets for half an hour and i want to know if this is quiet enough for that, or if it's just for home use
I thought this issue with the woodwinds was specific to my personal experience but I see it is apparently a much more common thing that I thought 🤭
will this fit in a marching baritone
I have the older version of the silent brass system for trombone. Is it any different from the one you're using?
I remember really not liking the old one when I tried it a few years ago. I don't know if it really got that much better or maybe I just got better, but the short answer is yes! The sound and back-pressure is both improved.
Ok! Thanks so much!
The main difference is the mute itself. I have the older SB mute and sometimes it can fall out easier since it's so big and bulky.
Does the new one also work for bass trombone?
I believe so, yes. You could google the SB mutes to know for sure, though. :-)
I need one of these.
+Xlr8rify IKR!
I just want to know where I can buy a trombone online ? please
Btw you're really good !
You need to cover some awesome jazz songs, that mute reminded me of some kinda old detective noir stuff... would be awesome!
A cover of Erik Owen by Youngblood Brass Band would be AMAZING. It would make my life...
Hello I am interested in writing something I can do on trombone, which microphone you use to record?
Hi Christophe, wanted to ask you for a good pair of headsets... The reason why is that I have tried several ones and none except a pair of old chat headsets, the Sennheiser PC 3... gives me this true color, sound of the trombone... I have been looking for something with same tech specs but unfortunately no luck... So, do you have a pair of headset you can recommend me? Cheers, Al
Is there anyway to plug in a computer?
oh I've been wanted to know that system. Is it quite quiet?
which headphones are you using? i've teted several models. there are big differences. some are not usable.
Is it possible to record with mute? Is there any outputs that is compatible with a soundcard?
Can you set up the silent brass system to use in a duet setting? For example, can you "mute" two trombones and use a splitter or some other device so that both trombone players can simultaneously hear each other while they are both using the silent brass system?
+paigenewkirk yes, but fiddly. If you use the output from each mute to a mixer and then split the headphone signal from mixer to headphones.
How quiet is it actually. Sorry, I'm just having a difficult time telling from the video.
Thankyou for quoting the blue bells of Scotland
What song were you playing?
I love that section of Bluebells of Scotland! Just sayin.
Cara tu conseguiria tocar a musica na gliria do Raul De Barros
what system or software program do u use to make the loops in other posts
which headphones are you using?
I can't really tell from the video, but with the system deactivated, does it work like a straight mute (without the resistance, obviously), or is it too quiet to be as useful?
***** Hey, he shows how loud it is. Around 1:34 just check it out. He will turn off the connection to the amp and all we hear is the sound the video camera receives.
I love blue bells of scotland
If you want to see the potential of the silent brass' distortion potential, watch Maniacal 4's cover of Carry On My Wayward Son
What style mouthpiece do you currently use?
How does it sound with the Tromba/pBone?
Do you get to keep the products they send for free or do you have to pay?
Nice video thnx :)
It is a fine System but realy old school! A bluetooth conection would be much better than the chaos witth slide and cables!
Is your large bore a Bach 42AF?
Does the system fit also for trumpet?
How does it compare to the older version ?
does it fit on bass trombone?
You should all of the lights
This needs to exist for Euphonium. Not a practice mute, a SILENT mute. I need dis. Course then mine would cost anout $320. Sigh...
It exists... and you are about dead on with the price too...
"Why don't I plug into that?!" hahahahaha
Will it work on a Bass
Is this current generation of Silent Brass better than the prior gens? I have the Silent Brass for my Trumpet I purchased back in 2006 and it's "okay" but the sound quality sounds more muted than it does trumpet
Andrew Gilbert I’ve heard that the newer generation not only sounds better, but it also has less resistance and is lighter and more compact. I’m thinking about getting one eventually
Is that an Edwards T350-E ???
Does it fit a bass trombone?
No
Yes it does, hes playing on one now!
J Chen that was a large bore tenor with an f attachment, not a bass trombone.
You can tell how heavy the mute is by the way he sluggishly moves his slide
What slide oil do you use?
Cormac Holland probably soap
@@Magicmoose88 not soap. Probably cream
In the back, you can see he uses Yamaha slide oil. I've heard it is the best slide oil.
Can you plug headphones straight into the mute itself without the Yamaha system?
You need the Yamaha system. There's no battery in the mute itself, so no signal comes through without it.
Christopher Bill Thanks!!
So is it "silent" ?
I can hear you playing when you have the system engaged but i wonder how loud it would be for neighbours when using the system?
It’s quiet enough that you can play in the next room from a sleeping baby
YA BLUE BELLS OF SCOTLAND!
How much is it?
for trumpet players it has some minor bugs (intonation) in some notes tird space c and some others
Interesting. I just did a "find in page" for the word "intonation" expecting more such comments. In an online trumpet forum, a while back, I came across a comment relating to the potential intonation problem affecting technique with continual practice. Have not tried one yet. Thanks for posting your reply.
Does it hold up after 7 years?
Blue Bells Of Scotland :3
I was just talking to a friend of mine about these! Im not allowed to practice tbone after 7pm at my house because my mom doesnt like the loud noise.... This would fix it!! How much did it cost?
they cost a pretty penny,, however you could just buy a normal practice mute for cheaper
Ah but does it completely mute the sound like this one does? My mom seems to hear every little thing xD the sound carries through out my house pretty well
Jessie Vesco In my experience, they mute the sound just as well, but the down side is there is a good ton of back pressure. If you got the cash to spend, go silent brss all the way. But otherwise, the traditional practice mute itself can do the job
Ah okay, thank you! Ill check out the prices on both. Any cheaper mutes you recommend?
Jessie Vesco I personally use a Stoneline for my trumpet and trombone. Personally i like the aluminum better than the plastic, but thats 'cause i like the black lol
Ok so you can still totally hear it
Only problem I have with it is••••••ITS SO HEAVY.
Is it heavy?
blue bells of reverb
Electric trombone
You can make these sound like an electric guitar. It's really cool.
Edwards?
The old system was terrible. I have it. It has no way out to the air flux. The pressure in the system is very uncomfortable. Terrible to play.
Good afternoon, I'd appreciate your assistance. What was the old system's model number? I bought one about 5 years ago, pickup mute PM5X, Personal Studio (the receiver) STX-2 and SB5bx on the box and the system is the same as the one reviewed. I want to make sure that I have the latest version. Thank you in advance and have a great day.
Anyone else spot the blue juice in the back...😅

I still don't get how it's worth 200 dollars for it if your just using it for practice.
Because it allows you to practice anywhere and whenever. Let's say you live in a house with people who work at night. And they sleep during the day. It allows you to practice then
I have the same one, I really liked it so far and I can totally agree with your opinion :)
Does this fit bass trombones? Like 9.5" and so on? I tried it at ITF 2014 on large tenors but spaced trying it on my bass bone, sadly.
