Practice room in a box
While not quite the epitome of what it could possibly someday be, this is an excellent product that provides great value. Having used this for over 3 years so far, if it failed tomorrow, I would get another right away and feel like I got great value. Cons: * Cords require attention and management when using; * Requires extra air pressure to play, similar to most any quiet practice mute; * Like any practice mute, interferes with trumpet's natural resonance, making it more dependent on embouchure for correct pitch. Neutral: * Ear buds are of modest quality but work fine. (I mostly use over the ear, open air headphones) Pros: * Quiet. People can watch TV in same room, and can sleep in the next room * Full trumpet sound. Much better practice experience than just practice mute alone * Extra air pressure required might help to develop lungs * Extra practice controlling pitch with embouchure makes for better embouchure Note on Bluetooth vs cords: It is easy and not very expensive to use bluetooth headphones, and wireless connection for the mute using readily available bluetooth transmitter/receivers. I have tried with this headphones. It works fine, but I prefer to put up with managing the cords. Bluetooth delays the sound somewhat, and while we mostly accept such delays (e.g. with mobile phones & IP phones vs traditional (POTS) land lines), I prefer the more instantaneous responsiveness using the cords. I imaging that perhaps the signal processing in the silent brass system itself introduces a small delay, and each packet based (bluetooth) radio added to the path adds that much more. ... show more

Surprisingly quiet, perfect for practicing.
I often get home from work far too late to be keeping the neighbors up with playing my trumpet, but don't want to give up my daily practice. I always hated how practice mutes make my nice sounding trumpet sound like a glorified kazoo. With this mute, it quiets the trumpet to levels low enough that it wouldn't wake my wife up even if she's sleeping in the same room, but through the earbuds, it's sounds normal to me. It was also startling how small it is, fitting entirely into the bell of my trumpet. While there is some slight back pressure, it's not nearly as much as a normal practice mute. There is a slight affect on the tuning, especially on the upper range of notes, but it's certainly acceptable. A very cool tool, and one of the coolest products I've ever purchased. Well worth the price. ... show more

This thing is a game changer!
I am totally impressed with this system. There was nothing like this back in the 70s when I first started playing the trumpet but this is a game changer for me. There are many times when I’d like to practice late at night but I don’t want to disturb anyone. I’m at my 90 year old mom’s house for a visit right now and I can’t afford to miss three days practice so I bought this hoping it would work and it has exceeded all expectations. It was easy to hook up and fits tightly in the bell. The sound reproduction is fantastic and it even has a little bit of reverb to simulate room tone. I highly recommend this to anyone who is restricted by rehearsal space. I can even use it so my dog won’t howl! Great invention and totally worth the money. ... show more

Almost amazing
I've been hearing rave reviews about this ever since it came out and I was very excited to buy one. After trying it for a couple days, my impression is that it's "pretty good." Pros: - very quite externally. It's more quiet than my favorite practice mute. - lightweight and extremely portable, given that the mute part fits in the bell and doesn't protrude. - very handy, in that it also has another auxiliary jack that can plug into devices for mp3 listening. Cons: - OUT OF TUNE. Like, REALLY out of tune. Below a middle G (on trumpet) it starts going sharp, and by low G it's about a half-step sharp (threw me off the first time I played it; thought I was transposing wrong). When you get above high G, it starts going flat. So when I do an arpeggio from low G to high G, I essentially change key by more than a half-step. :-\ - Doesn't sound as good in the headphones as it does once recorded, since the reverberation in your head (with the nasal wah-wah sort of sound) mostly covers up the great sound of the system. You end up having to crank the volume to hear mostly the system. Overall impression: I will definitely use this. It's very handy, but it's not as godly as they made me think it would be. The pitch issues are a pain. ... show more

Well worth it.
Worth every penny! Bought for a high school band student and they use it with ease. The sound is very true when he plugs in earphones. It mute can be used by itself also.

Helpful and Entertaining
The mute fits my Yamaha trumpet just right. I saw reviews that Yamaha lists different stock numbers for this system for distribution purposes but the product is the same and I agree. I bought from this listing because it was $30 less than the other listing. The mute by itself is an excellent practice mute but I don't use it for that purpose because I don't want to carry it around. I hook it up to the system with my one one piece ear buds. The Yamaha buds don't stay in my ears well. The trumpet sound is realistic and makes practice more fun. Additionally, I can hook up my phone or another device and pipe music that I can play along with. The amazing trumpeter, Andrea Giuffredi has "play along" music on YouTube with the trumpet score on the screen. With the hookup I described, I think it is possible to play along with him! ... show more

Really cool device, gives me reason to play trumpet
This thing has got me practicing my trumpet 1000% more, now I can practice my scales and long tones without annoying neighbors or the recently deceased. Listening in headphones gives you a strange physical feeling of playing unobstructed. A MUST HAVE for any trumpet player from high school to retiree. Remember if you put your horn down for more than 24 hours, its gonna take you several practice sessions to get your chops back to how they were. This eliminates those times when you just can't practice because its too late or someone will hear you that you don't want to hear you. No more excuses, play trumpet! Pros: You can now play at 4am without disturbing anyone. You can use this for acid jazz and future funk effects. You will be playing your trumpet more! Cons: Little black box, can't turn the reverb off, batteries only. ... show more

As advertised. I’m very impressed
I have to say I’m very impressed. When I was opening the packaging I was scepticle about whether or not I would like it so I saved the packaging. Then I plugged it in and gave my trumpet a blow and was amazed at how much sounds it keeps from getting out. I would compare it to a slightly more quiet Harmon mute. It blocks a good 95% of the sound. I play a room away from my wife watching tv on normal volume and she has no idea I’m even playing. This is perfect for anyone who lives near other people and don’t want to disturb anyone. The sound is great as long as you don’t use the headphones that come with the device. The reverb is really top notch. I use my Apple earbuds for now but would be interested to see how nice sound cancelling headphones would be. I can honestly say this was worth every penny and it has given me a means to get back into playing my trumpet which is very dear to me. ... show more
