Yamaha SB5J Trombone Silent Brass System

Yamaha’s next generation SILENT Brass delivers greater playing enjoyment, anytime, anywhere. The new 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.

Lightweight and Compact

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 Inside Bell

A new compact design now lets you put your instrument in its case with the mute in the bell.

Lightweight

Significantly lighter than previous models, these new mutes offer better instrument balance when in the bell and greatly reduce stress when playing. You might forget it's in your horn!

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 original digital 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.

External Device Input Capability

By connecting to portable audio players or smart phones with audio playback capability, you can play along with your favorite tunes or practice with popular "minus-one" backing tracks.
