Yamaha’s next generation SILENT Brass delivers greater playing enjoyment, anytime, anywhere. The new SILENT Brass consists of a smaller, lighter, free blowing Pickup Mute™, and the Personal Studio™, which features Yamaha’s exclusive Brass Resonance Modeling™. Used together, the two deliver the natural acoustic tone you hear when playing without a mute, making it feel as though you are playing mute free.
Lightweight and Compact - Pickup Mute
Significantly smaller and lighter than previous versions, the mute offers superior muting performance, delivers excellent intonation in all ranges, and natural playability.
Easy to attach and remove
New mutes are designed to attach and
remove smoothly and easily.
Fits neatly inside the bell
A new compact design now lets you put
your instrument in its case with the
mute in the bell.
*In some cases, the Pickup Mute may
not fit instruments that have significantly
different bell diameters and/or shapes.
Please refer to the “Yamaha
Compatibility Table” on each product
page and check before purchasing.
So light you’ll forget it’s in
your horn.
Significantly lighter than previous
models, these new mutes offer better
instrument balance when in the bell
and greatly reduce stress when playing.
Specially designed mini
microphone
Microphone performance, it’s mounting
position, and the surrounding mute
design were all optimized to bring out
the full potential of Brass Resonance
Modeling.
Powered by Brass Resonance Modeling
Yamaha’s proprietary technology produces a truer tone without a mute by adding the characteristics of the acoustic environment through which the sound travels from the horn to the player’s ears.
Sound without Brass Resonance Modeling Sound with Brass Resonance Modeling
It is recommended to listen to the sound with headphones or earphones.
The SILENT Brass features Yamaha’s unique technology, “Brass Resonance Modeling” which uses the modeling of non-muted brass instruments to correct your instrument’s tone when the Pickup Mute is in place. With a combination of a Personal Studio STX and a Pickup Mute, the resulting sound is so realistic, it’s hard to tell whether the instrument is muted, or not.
