Experience The Evolution of SILENT Brass™ Powered by Brass Resonance Modeling ™

When SILENT Brass ™ was first introduced it was hailed as one of the most significant brass instrument developments since the valve. Yamaha has now taken this technology to new heights by making changes to the design of the mute itself and by developing cutting edge new technologies that give players an authentic playing experience in their own individual sound world.

When development started, the aim was to re-develop SILENT Brass ™ to fit in with the needs of the modern brass player. In depth research was carried out throughout the world with designers speaking directly with players at many leading brass events.

During this research phase they were able to speak with musicians at all levels. Amateurs, professionals, students and educators all gave valuable feedback about what they needed from a modern practice mute and, with this information the design team set to work.

All this information was studied in the finest detail and as a result Yamaha proudly presents the new SILENT Brass™. A state of the art practice mute with advanced technology that gives players everything they need whether practicing in a hotel room, warming up before a big performance or practicing at home late at night.

The revolutionary Brass Resonance Modeling™

Brass Resonance Modeling™ technology gives players the most authentic and natural playing experience possible from a practice mute. Developed by re-examining the way that the sound is created within the mute, this new system dramatically improves the sound heard by players.

By using this technology, Yamaha has also been able to improve the overall feel of playing with the mute. Response is outstanding, intonation is extremely accurate and the sound reduction that the mute offers is unbelievable.

Extremely portable compact shape, designed for the modern musician

One of the key factors when re-designing the mute was to make it as portable and as balanced as possible.

Its new shape offers a better balance for the player, with the weight well distributed giving a more authentic feel than the previous model.

The biggest benefit of the new mute design is that is can be stored in the bell of the instrument when it is packed away in its case. This is a fantastic feature for busy musicians and means that your SILENT Brass™ is always with you when you need it most!

Practice by yourself or with a full orchestra

SILENT Brass™ gives you the capability to practice silently in your own practice environment but the benefits don’t stop there. Connect the Personal Studio to your mp3 player or smart phone to practice your pieces along with a recording.

As the personal studio is separate to the mute itself, it means that there is more versatility with SILENT Brass™.  The ability to use the mute on its own allows players to use it in a similar way to traditional practice mutes. This is something that is unique to Yamaha and was considered, by players, to be a great feature.

Available for Trumpet, Trombone, Flugel Horn and French Horn, the new SILENT Brass™ is the most advanced practice mute available. Seeing is believing so make sure you get to your local brass specialist dealer today to find out for yourself how good the new SILENT Brass™ is.
