  • essential purchase if you don’t have constant access to a practice room
Style: French Horn
I’m picking up the horn again after a decade long break. But I live in a small apartment and have no access to a good practice space and don’t wanna get evicted. I tried the Pampet mute which was fine and all, very quiet, but I bought Silent Brass on a whim. And it’s the BEST impulse purchase I’ve ever made, hands down. I firmly believe that if I’d had this system way back when, I would’ve been a much better player, as I would’ve actually practiced more. The simple ability to hear myself as if I’m unmuted makes me want to play until my chops give out from fatigue; I literally do not want to stop playing. The “room” setting sounds just like the campus practice rooms, the “hall” setting sounds remarkably like those rare times I’d be early for orchestra and have the hall to myself for warm-up. The ability to adjust the reverb level and master volume of both the mic and the headphones is phenomenal. The mic itself is insane. I can hear every flub, every gurgle of water, every little thing is perfectly captured. I plan to update my review when I have a chance to test the recording capabilities. I didn’t read enough before my impulse buy and I have to get an adapter to connect the personal studio to my Mac/iPhone. But that alone makes this purchase so worth it! I really was wanting to make weekly recordings to monitor my progress getting my chops back; ten years ago there weren’t so many regular ole musicians sharing their music and so I’m definitely wanting to join the party, but I was fretting about not being able to play unmuted to record. No excuse now! Mute definitely fits in the bell with the case closed. When it’s in— it’s definitely in! It will not fall out if you make sure to give it a little twist like any other mute. I don’t feel a lot of resistance although I know there is some; it’s negligible to me though. Intonation is not a huge deal, although other reviews will be more accurate for that since I’m horribly out of shape. Here are my few minor complaints: the earbuds are not awesome (sound is fine but they’re just uncomfortable and annoying, I wish there was a Bluetooth connectivity but I plan to buy better headphones with a jack). I wish the personal studio was rechargeable (minor thing, AA batteries are fine and it’s still portable). And I wish I didn’t have to buy an adapter to record (not really a complaint on the product, almost everything electronic requires adapters for input). All-in-all, I would recommend this to every horn player who can’t always access a practice space, and I would even go so far as to say it’s a required purchase for the serious horn player. I’ll be taking it this weekend for a hotel stay, and may even break it out in the car (dw I’m not driving lol). It’s lightweight, easy to use, pop in batteries and plug it in and boom— you’re on your own personal concert stage, or your own personal practice room with the all the reverb you want (or none if you don’t want it, although c’mon who doesn’t want gorgeous reverb? A psychopath, that’s who). UPDATE: recording capabilities So I’ve tested the recording function pretty thoroughly. I did have to buy a USB-C adaptor to connect to my Mac, but it wasn’t super expensive and it’ll definitely be useful for other things too. I have been recording using garage band, and it’s not too difficult to figure out even for someone who never used it before. You switch to audience mode and it emulates how it would sound to… well… an audience rather than how you sound to yourself playing. The sound quality of the recordings is pretty dang awesome and that speaks to the mic quality. You can adjust the sensitivity of the mic on the studio itself, which is useful because the mic can and will pick up on sounds outside of the bell. Definitely a great experience with this thing so far, but wow the batteries go fast it seems. I have been using it a LOT, so I guess it makes sense I ran through the first batteries. And it’s not outside of the realm of possibility that I used old batteries from something else because when I replaced them, they were a different brand than the ones I have in my drawer… can’t remember if I cannibalized another battery operated electronic in my excitement to test it out without looking for my battery stash? In any case, I just replaced the batteries 2 days ago so I’ll try to remember to update again later and keep track of hours of use. ... show more

  • Perfect for Late Night Practicing and Apartment Living
Style: French Horn
I really enjoy using this practice mute and audio system with my Horn! I play a few Yamaha horns such as a 314 single F Horn, a Yamaha 567 intermediate, and a Custom 87 horn. This Silent Brass mute is great for when I don’t want to fill the apartment with my sound and want to work on repertoire for upcoming auditions and staying in shape on my instrument. Yamaha’s silent brass allows you to listen with your headphones of choice and I like to use my AirPods Max because of the noise cancelling features. These two make an excellent setup for working on intonation with a drone, where I can use both a Dr Beat DB90 and listen attentively to where I am in relation to the relative pitches. I also find that once I have practiced on this mute that once I play with my right hand in the bell, I can allow my right hand to do the adjusting of the horns pitch and color a lot better. Since I have more resistance with the mute and do all of my practice in my apartment. When I want to I can just take out the mute and play stopped horn better as well. Since I am used to the added resistance! Lastly, the only downside to this system is the price is quite expensive and thankfully my brother gave me this as a gift because he didn’t want to get a noise complaint from our other tenants. Which is understandable and respectful. So if you are deciding on whether or not to get a regular practice mute, I would get this one because the mute that comes with it is very high quality. I can play the pedal notes on this practice mute very well and reach the high notes very well. Even better is that once you have practiced on this mute exclusively for a while, once you play with the right hand in the bell; the entire range will feel effortless and most efficient. Due to again the added resistance of the practice mute but you get the bonus of hearing yourself. You can record on a MacBook or IPhone but will need an adapter for the IPhone, which I should get. Haha. Yamaha really knocked it out the park on this 2.0 version! Five stars all the way! ... show more

  • It's quiet way to play
Style: Trumpet
First things first. This product should be called Quiet Brass, not Silent Brass. It does not silence your trumpet. People in the next room will hear you playing. Compared to my other mutes, the Silent Brass is a little quieter than a Harmon mute with the stem removed. That's pretty quiet and is about what I expected. The Personal Studio device does a very good job of converting the muted sound back to full spectrum. What you hear in the headphones is pretty much exactly what you would hear unmuted, minus the reverb. I am using this to get my chops back after not playing the trumpet for about 40 years. But the main reason I bought this was to feed my trumpet audio into my modular synthesizer for further manipulation. I'm routing the headphone output into my synthesizer, and doing various things to mix the trumpet sound with synthesized sounds and effects. It's working very well and is a lot of fun. I could have done this with a regular mic, but then I'd be bothering my family and neighbors with full volume trumpet playing. And having not played in 40 years, that would be painful for them to listen to. Being able to play muted while sending the full trumpet sound into the electronics is an amazing feat and is worth the price. As others have noted, intonation in the lower octave is pretty bad, so don't rely on it to record a perfect melody. The device itself feels a little cheap for the price, and I agree with others that rechargeable batteries would have been preferred. But for now there's nothing else that does what it does, so I'll just have to live with replacing batteries periodically. ... show more
