Yamaha SB7J Silent Brass Outfit for Trumpet
You want to play when and as you like without being confined to a time or place... Yamaha’s next-generation SILENT Brass™ makes it happen. The SILENT Brass™ consists of a smaller, lighter, more accessible blowing Pickup Mute™, and the Personal Studio™, which features Yamaha’s exclusive Brass Resonance Modeling™. When used together, the two deliver the natural acoustic tone you hear when playing without a mute, making it feel as though you are playing mute-free.
Easy to attach and remove
The mutes are designed to attach and remove smoothly and easily.
Â
Fits neatly inside the bell
A new compact design lets you put your instrument in its case with the mute in the bell.
*Pickup Mute for flugelhorn protrudes 3-4 cm from the bell.
*In some cases, the Pickup Mute may not fit instruments with significantly different bell diameters and shapes. Please refer to the “Compatibility Table” on each product page and check before purchasing

So light you’ll forget it’s in your horn.
These mutes offer better instrument balance when in the bell and greatly reduce stress when playing.

Specially designed mini microphone
Microphone performance, it’s mounting position, and the surrounding mute design were all optimised to bring out the full potential of Brass Resonance Modeling.
Brass Resonance Modeling™ Ver.2.0
Brass Resonance Modeling™ is original Yamaha technology that effectively cancels a mute's characteristic closed sound, reproducing the unmuted instrument's open, natural sound. This reduces stress on players by allowing them to practice and play freely without feeling restricted by the mute.
Brass Resonance Modeling utilises three simultaneous processes to produce the realistic tone of the brass instrument.
Player Mode
Â
1. Cancel the distinctive mute sound
The sound picked up by the microphone at the end of the pickup mute is processed digitally to cancel out the mute's characteristic “closed” sound.
Â
2. Add the instrument’s natural sound
The natural sound that emanates from the bell and returns to the player’s ears when the instrument is played without a mute is reproduced and added.
Â
3. Adjust left-right balance to match the player’s position
The timing, volume, and tone of the sound reaching the player’s left and right ears are individually adjusted, and reverb is added as needed to accurately simulate the feel of playing in a room or hall.
Sound Mode
Personal Studio™ STJ offers two sound modes. The “Player” (PLY) mode allows the player to hear the natural sound of the instrument, while the “Audience” (AUD) mode delivers natural sound to the listener. In the AUD mode the audience hears the sound of the instrument being played in front of them, making it ideal for recording or online lessons.
Brass Resonance Modeling utilises three simultaneous processes to produce the realistic tone of the brass instrument.
Audience Mode
Â
1. Cancel the distinctive mute sound
The sound picked up by the microphone at the end of the pickup mute is processed digitally to cancel out the mute's characteristic “closed” sound.
Â
2. Add the instrument’s natural sound
The natural sound that emanates from the bell and reaches the audience’s ears when the instrument is played without a mute is reproduced and added, recreating the sound an audience hears when an instrument is played on stage.
Â
3. Adjust left-right balance to match the player’s position
The timing, volume, and tone of the sound reaching the audience’s left and right ears are individually adjusted, and reverb is added as needed to accurately simulate the feel of hearing the sound being played on stage from audience seating.
Reverb
Greater control over reverb lets users recreate the feeling of playing in environments ranging from small practice rooms with relatively little reverberation to large halls with rich, dense reverberation.
