Yamaha SB1X Silent Brass System For Tuba

Experience the Evolution of SILENT Brass With The SB1X Silent Brass System For Tuba

You want to play when and as you like, without being confined to time or place… Yamaha’s next generation SILENT Brass makes it happen. The new SILENT Brass consists of a smaller, lighter, freer blowing Pickup Mute™, and the Personal Studio™, which features Yamaha’s exclusive Brass Resonance Modeling™. 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.
