Yamaha SB1J Silent Brass Tuba Mute

Easy to attach and remove

The mutes are designed to attach and remove smoothly and easily.

Fits neatly inside the bell

A new compact design now lets you put your instrument in its case with the mute in the bell.

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 optimized to bring out the full potential of Brass Resonance Modeling.

Player Mode

1. Cancel the distinctive mute sound

Sound picked up by the microphone at the end of the pickup mute is processed digitally to cancel out the characteristic "closed" sound of the mute.

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.

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.

Audience Mode

1. Cancel the distinctive mute sound

Sound pickup by the microphone at the end of the pickup mute is processed digitally to cancel out the characteristic "closed" sound of the mute.

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.

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.
