Yamaha SB5J Silent Brass system review

[@TimeToCheckReality]

was expecting you to play it

[@SchmittMusicTromboneShop]

That was the plan before I ran out of recording time that day! I am hoping to do a follow up, showing it in action!

[@jimjones-pz1tt]

@@SchmittMusicTromboneShop Have you found more recording time? This is ridiculous. Many of us need an approximation of the SB5J's sound attenuation before buying. Why in the heck are you stopping me from giving you my money?

Does the Schmitt music shop have a website that people can order trombones on?

[@SchmittMusicTromboneShop]

Absolutely :) You can find us at www.shop.schmittmusic.com. We try to keep our website update with our current inventory but things can fluctuate. Do you have something in particular you are looking for? Feel free to reply or email at [e-mail] and we will be happy to help however we can!

What's your feedback on it regarding how it would work with the YSL-448G?

[@SchmittMusicTromboneShop]

I have not specifically used the Silent Brass with the 448G but knowing the overall bell size and taper I would certainly expect it to work very well!

[@MrSwinginjoe]

@SchmittMusicTromboneShop I'm also looking at buying a Denis Wick Heritage 5ABL. Currently, I am using a Denis Wick 5BL, and so far, I'm having pretty good results. A little deeper would be nice. I'd love to see you all come out with a lake city brass valve trombone. 8.5 bell that takes a Large Shank Mouthpiece. Or a valve trombone in general would be incredibly awesome!

Thank you for the review! What other practice mute system for tenor trombone can you recommend for a lead/solo jazz player?

[@eddie4241]

Can I connect this system to Logic directly without an audio interface?

[@rossdaveyentertainment]

Is it louder than the previous STX Personal Studio?? It's always been too weak for my liking.

[@rorschach162]

Will this work with an Olds O21 Flugabone? If not which mute fits a compact marching trombone?

[@zeldemalevitz4996]

Very interesting review.

[@SchmittMusicTromboneShop]

Thanks!

Its now 2024. I wonder if the possibility of using Bluetooth earbuds is going to be possible this century.

[@SchmittMusicTromboneShop]

As I understand it, the big issue with recording music with Bluetooth is the latency delay; even if the delay is only milliseconds, it is enough to throw off the entire recording alignment…

[@carlw]

​@SchmittMusicTromboneShop Agreed, still makes ne shake my head though. We can land a spaceship on a moving asteroid to take samples but creating a technology that can transfer music a couple of feet tirelessly, without latency can't be done. Oooooonly the human race.

@@carlw If you use Blue Tooth to listen to music, you're not a musician worth listening to.
