Why we love it…

Silent Brass is a revolutionary system to aid practicing. As fantastic as it sounds, there are times when playing a trombone at normal volume just won't go down well with housemates or neighbours. Practice mutes can reduce the audible volume dramatically - but just as dramatically, they can rob the sound of character, expression and nuance.
This complete package is the perfect solution for a student who needs to practice.

Experience the Evolution of SILENT Brass™
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 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.

Features

YSL-354E Bb Tenor Trombone features:

Inner slide

The chrome-plated yellow brass drawn inner slide is very durable and has a quick, sensitive response.

Outer slide

The one-piece drawn yellow brass outer slide maintains an accurate diameter throughout its length and this type of construction ensures airtightness, smooth action, and exceptional durability and adds resonance to the sound.

Inner slide stockings

Specially designed one-piece inner slide stockings guarantees airtight slide construction, offer smoother slide action and better alignment, even in the extended 6th and 7th positions.

Tubular braces

Long-lasting nickel-silver tubular braces contribute to the stability of the slide and enhance smooth slide action.

Balancer

The balancer found on the YSL-354 perfectly proportions the instrument's weight.

Pressure formed tubing

Perfectly rounded tubing results in less turbulence and a smoother air flow, thus allowing for an excellent scale and reduced resistance.

Laser-fused pluzuma welded bell

A high-energy laser fuses the brass together for a virtually seamless bell which allows continuous even vibrations.

Slide lock

The unique slide lock design on all Yamaha trombones keeps the slide locked in place and keeps it from accidentally falling.

Weight distribution

Beginners are more comfortable playing the YSL-354 because its superb weight distribution makes it easier to hold.

Bracing

The large, easy-to-hold nickel silver bracing guards against possible slide damage if the instrument is dropped and also lessens fatigue while playing.

Mouthpipe

Yamaha trombones have mouthpipes featuring special acoustic designs allowing for precise intonation and greater blowing control.

Yamaha SB5J Silent Brass system features:

Pickup Mute

The Pickup Mute™ combines a high-performance mute with an internal microphone to pickup sound. Significantly smaller and lighter than previous versions, the mute offers superior muting performance, delivers excellent intonation over a wide pitch range, and natural playability. A new compact design now lets you put your instrument in its case with the mute in the bell.

* Please note that the Pickup Mute™ may not fit some instruments with significantly different bell shapes or bell diameters. Please check before purchasing.

Brass Resonance Modeling

The SILENT Brass™ features Yamaha’s unique technology, which uses the modeling of non-muted brass instruments to correct your instrument’s tone when the Pickup Mute™ is in place. The resulting sound is so realistic, it’s hard to tell whether the instrument is muted, or not.

The SILENT Brass™ Offers More Enjoyment

Connect the output from an audio player, smartphone, etc. to the AUX IN jack on the Personal Studio™ and enjoy playing along with your favorite recordings or “minus one” practice aids. The PHONES jack can also be used as an output jack for recording what you play.

* Do not use the AUX IN jack when using the PHONES jack as an output jack.
* Cable sold separately.
