In this video I compare several trumpet practice mutes with each other. During the pandemic I played an awful lot at home and at night. I tried several practice mutes to keep playing, but I was also looking for the most practical, less resisting, best intonating and if it was possible, best sounding mute.
These mutes are used in this video:
Best Brass: www.bestbrass.com/stf/warm-up....
Divitt: www.divitt-trumpets.com/pract...
Wallace: www.bestmutes.com/?v=d60f753e...
Yamaha Silent Brass: nl.yamaha.com/nl/products/mus...
Sshh Mute: www.sshhmute.com
Let me know which one you use in the comments!

I have received Wallace mute tonight, it is a very nice mute for learning after 10pm. By the way, the shorter model M17 has been removed. The M17G is only 10mm longer and is now the standard M17 mute. As said the person from WALLACE It’s better in the high register and easier all round. so I took M17G, and I am very satisfied. Thank you Roy !

Your chops gotta be really sharp and strong🤣

Hello Roy, Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. I am looking for something silent to practice, sth between Yamaha silent brass and Denis wick ET mute 5506, and I think it will be Wallace for me. May I ask you what is the piece of music you are playing in this video here ? Please keep going with great content. Best Regards.

It’s called JoySpring. Thanks for your comment and good Luck practicing! Best wishes

Hi Roy, thanks for using my mute in your review, and thanks for the kind words about it! I'm glad you're enjoying it. -Ewan Divitt

Hi, nice comparison video. Can you tell me the name of the riff tune you play?

@VanLentMusic 2 года назад

Joy Spring

@goldenpooper4326 Год назад

What are your thoughts on the ssshmute? Been looking at that one as I dont necessarily need to practice quietly all the time but I do sometimes want to practice at night and am unable to

@VanLentMusic Год назад

The ssshmute has a great intonation for a practice mute. But unfortunately less volume reduction if you compare it with the yamaha silent Brass for example.

@wckoek 2 месяца назад

If the Divitt have the least resistance, which comes second in order of the test, how does the Shshmute compares?

Nice. I have a very old Yamaha Silent brass which is electronic. What do you think of such an electronic solution? If you have experience with it, would it be smart to buy the latest version instead using mine which is approx 15 yrs old I think

@VanLentMusic 11 месяцев назад

The new version is way better. The old cone shaped model was less practical to carry around but the most important difference was the greater amount of resistance in comparison to the new ones. Due to that, intonation has improved a lot on the new models. The electronic device itself is also much better. But I usually play with only the mute.

Ok thanks. Then I will check it in Ittervoort :-) @@VanLentMusic

Hi, good review!! But you didn't say something about "resistance"..very important for me. I'm using the sshhh mute. In my opinion: good intonation, good weight but too much resistance! I cannot play more than 30min. with this mute VG peter, germany

@VanLentMusic Год назад

Formula imo for resistance is as easy as: the more the volume is reduced the more resistance has increased. Practice mutes are not build imo for long practice sessions, more a comfort choice when you’re in a place you can’t play loudly. I also wouldn’t recommand to play too often with these kind of mutes. Doesnt help you out for multiple reasons especially when you’re a beginner.

@benjamingruder4875 Год назад

Great review of the sound. But what did you notice as far as back pressure? I want the practice experience to be as close to open 'feel' as possible, even if the sound is a bit louder. Also, a quibble: There's a wrong note in your rendition of Joy Spring (a personal favorite of mine). In the 6th complete measure, after the (Bb trumpet pitch) G dotted quarter and subsequent G eighth note, the following note should be an E, not a D.

@VanLentMusic Год назад

It’s really quite easy, the loudest sounding mute has the most open feel… so the Divitt in this case would be great…

@arlega02 6 месяцев назад

E-brass or silent brass, which one should I prefer?

@VanLentMusic 6 месяцев назад

That’s just subjective and only you can tell for yourself. I can say I prefer the silent brass

@91Wtr 3 года назад

How about resistance by the mutes?

@VanLentMusic 3 года назад

The greater the sound reduction goes along with the amount of resistance. Best brass the most, Divitt the least

@VanLentMusic 2 года назад

@crash burn it was indeed, but the countereffect is that it also has the most intonation problems , due to the higher compression. Taking these two parameters into account the “new typ” Yamaha mute works best in my opinion

@VanLentMusic 2 года назад

Compression = resistance
