Yamaha SB5X 02 Silent Brass Trombone

New compact design!

The revolutionary design of the new SILENT Brass™ defies convention and allows players to conveniently store the mute in the bell of their instrument making this innovative mute an essential part of a brass musician’s equipment. Convenience is not the only benefit of the new design. The overall balance has been improved and allows players to adapt their natural playing posture.

Powered by Brass Resonance Modeling™

Brass Resonance Modeling™ is a newly developed digital audio processing technology that takes practising to the next level. This unique, cutting edge technology transforms the sound cancelling the sound picked up by the microphone in the mute and then, via Brass Resonance Modeling™, transforming it to simulate the way the sound normally returns to the player from the bell as if playing without a mute. One of the best examples of this is the trombone system. The sound is reproduced so the player hears the sound slightly left of the centre to give a realistic playing feel.

Outstanding response & playability
In a remarkably lightweight, compact unit, the new SILENT Brass™ mute achieves outstanding sound reduction whilst retaining stable pitch over a wide range, also ensuring optimum airflow. The ‘AUX IN’ minijack allows players to connect their portable audio players or smartphone so that they are able to play along with a full accompaniment.
