Yamaha SB5J Silent Brass System - Tenor & Bass Trombone | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls

The Yamaha SB5J Silent Brass system revolutionizes trombone practice with next-generation technology that delivers natural acoustic tone while maintaining complete silence to others. This innovative system combines a lightweight Pickup Mute with the Personal Studio featuring Brass Resonance Modeling 2.0, allowing intermediate to professional trombonists to practice anytime, anywhere without disturbing others.

Product Overview

The SB5J Silent Brass system features a specially designed Pickup Mute that's 40% lighter than previous models, offering improved instrument balance and reduced playing stress. The compact design fits neatly inside the bell and allows the instrument to be stored in its case with the mute attached, making it incredibly convenient for daily practice routines.

The Personal Studio STJ utilizes Yamaha's exclusive Brass Resonance Modeling 2.0 technology to effectively cancel the characteristic closed sound of traditional mutes. This advanced processing recreates the open, natural resonance of an unmuted trombone, allowing players to experience authentic tone and response during silent practice sessions.

The system offers Player and Audience sound modes, adjustable reverb settings from intimate practice rooms to concert halls, and USB connectivity for recording and online lessons. This comprehensive practice solution transforms any space into a professional practice environment while maintaining the natural feel and sound of acoustic trombone playing.
