Review by Jim Pullen - Dawkes Music Brass Specialist
"Yamaha Silent Brass SYSTEM SB7X02 - Trumpet/Cornet It seems Yamaha have taken into consideration most of the issues faced with using the old system. The mute itself is ultra light, flush with the bell and doesn't have the tendency to fall out like the last. The external sound from the mute is, as you'd expect is pretty minimal, the sound coming through the headphones is excellent, with two reverb settings you can be in a dry room or a concert hall, great fun!
I did find that the mute made the instrument go slightly sharp, but nothing that the tuning slide couldn't cope with. Also there was a little extra resistance, again nothing drastic.
Best of all, the MP3 input allowed me to play along with the ireal app on my smartphone, which makes the SB7X02 more of an essential addition to my trumpet case than just an "invisibility cloak"."
