Experience the Evolution of SILENT Brass

You want to play when and as you like, without being confined to time or place… Yamaha’s next generation SILENT Brass™ makes it happen. The SILENT Brass™ consists of a smaller, lighter, freer 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.

Pickup Mute™

Easy to attach and remove

The 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.

*Pickup Mute for flugelhorn protrudes 3-4 cm from 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 “Compatibility Table” on each product page and check before purchasing - https://au.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/winds/silent_brass/silent_brass_sbj_series/specs.html#product-tabs

So light you’ll forget it’s in your horn.

These 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

Brass Resonance Modeling™ Ver.2.0
Brass Resonance Modeling™ is original Yamaha technology that effectively cancels the characteristic closed sound of a mute, reproducing the open, natural sound of the unmuted instrument. This reduces stress on players by allowing them to practice and play freely without feeling restricted by the mute.
Brass Resonance Modeling utilizes three simultaneous processes to produce the realistic tone of the brass instrument
