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 - Pickup Mute Significantly smaller and lighter than previous versions, the mute offers superior muting performance, delivers excellent intonation in all ranges, and natural playability. 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 players ears. Suggestion - More Enjoyment With The New SILENT Brass Connect the Personal Studio with an audio player or a smartphone to enjoy playing along with your favorite music.
