How quiet is this. Im looking for something for my daughter to use at her mothers house. With the cold months coming up hopefully this would be the answer for her.
Hi Matthew, it's pretty quiet. It's probably the softest out of the practice mutes I've used. But it's not nice to play. Very restrictive and makes it hard to adjust when it's taken out. Check out my review of the upmute which I find much better. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YXVDOJtxGDo.html
I've watched a few other videos about these silent mutes, but this one really illustrates the difference in volume best. The trombone version is over $200, so I've been a little hesitant, but now I'm more eager to give this a try.
Ah would have been so helpful to hear the sound un-muted in the room to get a comparison; really considering one of these but even 'reasonably quiet' can disturb housemates
Hi Gggfx, I have a comparison video coming soon where I play several practice mutes and also without the mute. This should give you a more accurate review for you.
Hi Phil Thanks for the video, I’ve tried both the Silent Brass mutes. Whilst they do, attenuate the sound. there are issues with tuning and back pressure that you mention. I,d be keen to hear your thoughts on other practice mutes, over the years I’ve tried the Dennis Wick and Schzzzzz mutes. The Schzzz actually is not to bad on tuning. Are you gong to include in your next review the Wallace Pro Silent mute and also the Yahama Nano. Great channel, keep them coming. Jim Portsmouth UK
@@PhillONeillTrumpet It will be very helpful. I am thinking about Tom Crown, Bramer sshhmute and Yamacha Silent Brase. I selected it based on information and opinions. Which of them has the best inotation and which has the least back pressure. I think this is very important for beginners. Maybe you can also talk about the feedback pressure. Some manufacturers say that a low back pressure helps develop embouchure. Is it true?
@@sawtom I have just finished my practice mute comparison. for some reason I cant find my SShh mute anymore but there are some good ones here to check out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XPnkDm0fsiM.html
Thanks Jesper. Glad you like the review. Feel free to check out some of my other mute reviews. There’s a cool wooden mute in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6d5Zx3n8DwA.html
@@PhillONeillTrumpet Cool, will check it out. Would be nice with some kind of practice mute in the evenings. I have a Denis Wick mute right now but its no joy at all playing.
this fanfare has been much more popular than I expected :). I wrote the fanfare to announce the launch of my album "The Operatic Trumpet" you can listen to it on spotify. open.spotify.com/album/62Zx8HMZA97As7Y48qL4Jt
Should I buy just the mute without the reverb device, I do not play trumpet professionally I am just in the 6th grade and my brother hates how loud my trumpet is but I need to hear the not muffle of a regular mute cus I wanna Improve trumpet aspects that would be covered up with a regular mute please help
Thats a good question. I wouldn't recommend this mute for daily practice. The resistance is too different to normal playing. Have a look at the UpMute. I find that I can use this mute often and it doesn't destroy my sound when I can play without a mute. Other than that try to stay late at school to practice if the volume annoys your family too much. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YXVDOJtxGDo.html
I will not use it exclusively I would just use it if it’s a bit earlier or if there is a lot of family members around and I can still also practice regularly but just not as much as I would want to so I think this might be a viable option
The yamaha back pressure is a lot more noticable than the upmute. Every mute will always have some level of back pressure. There is no way around it. Just makes sence when you stick something in the bell. The stomvi has some of the least back pressure out of the practice mutes I've tried (and there are many). But as I mention in the video, my biggest concern with practice mutes is the fuzzy feeling of the lips I get when I take the mute out. The upmute doesnt have that at all.
@@PhillONeillTrumpet thanks Phill. I've ordered a Yamaha as I like the idea of being able to practice to a backing track on occasion. BTW I'm a Stomvi fan - I have a Classica and I love it :) I bought it after watching one of your demos. 👍
Hi Hampus, You will need to Silent Brass SB6X model for flugel horn. Its designed specifically for the flugel horn. I’d love to hear how you go with it.
The difference between the first generation and 2nd generation is quite a big one. I hated the first generation. It had soo much back pressure and it didn't ground good either. If you don't want to spen $200 on the gen 2 but you need a practice mute, try the Upmute by Stomvi. Thats a great mute!
Mine just came today. I'm unhappy because the sound is stuffy in my headphones. especially then tonality when I play middle C. Is it this particular mute? Help!
The headphones that come with it aren’t great. You can improve the sound by using better headphones. I suggest using a reverb too. Using a practice mute is never going to be ideal but there are times you just need to bite the bullet and use one.
The sound is a little bit muffled and stuffy, but ok for practice. The most disturbing issue I have is my low C is sharp relative to my middle C - the low C is about 1/2 step sharp . I don't like that it messes with the intonation...
Hi L Wentz, It is normal for a practice mute to feel more stuffy than playing open. A practice mute will never have the feel of playing open trumpet! It’s purpose is to give us some time with the horn on face when we can’t make too much noise.
Hi Sipho, In this video i think i was using Stomvi's 1 1/4C. Im currently using a warburton mouthpiece these days. Ive tried soo many different mouthpieces over the years!!!! What ru using?
I have one, but I really don't like the sound I'm hearing in the headphones, even top quality ones. What's more, whatever are Yamaha thinking still selling an implement that you have to put batteries in. In this day and age? It should have internal rechargeable batteries, like every other modern device. Personally I think it's not doing me any favours. I use a Shhmute, but even that is not like real playing. What's more, they really should be using Bluetooth, both for the headphones and the bug. Why are they using this outdated technology? Yamaha are supposed to be state of the art...
Yep completely feel your frustration there. Unfortunately there is no perfect world solution when it comes to practice mutes. It’s just what needs to happen from time to time.
@@filipejjc9292 Oh wow. That's really cool. I love how I get to meet people from places I've never been to through RU-vid. I do get some tasty coffee grown in Brazil. :)
@@yasminflores4386 lol. a good player can make anything work. I did a gig with James Morrison. we gave him the oldest instrument we could find with air leaks and rusty valves and he still made it sound superb. Tthe Yamaha 2330 is a reliable trumpet. Treat it well and you will get good use from it.
@@PhillONeillTrumpet well, it has an essential typo: the verb at the beginning of the sentence is missing a "t". Try www.deepl.com it is much more intelligent than Google translate.
Thanks for checking out my silent brass review. I guess you dont like the back story as to why someone would need a practice mute. Try my practice mute comparison video instead. This video is straight into it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XPnkDm0fsiM.html
