just to add my forpenneth to the considered opinion above . . . .

I think there is too much made of these devices giving no resistance - I think they shoud have resistance which woud mean that if you can play a piece with the device in you bell it becomes much easierto play with it out.

 

[cornetshell]

Looks like a very scarey, pre- technology version of the silent brass.....

reminds me too much of doctors.....and those odd toys and gadgets they use...they say they are making you better.... :?

uuuewhhhh

What a pile of ****! (self-edit)
What's wrong with a DW practice mute? A good bit of resistance to push diaphragm against, tremendous stuff. If it's too loud, blu-tack one of the whole, like what my brother does, nutter!

With 'surgical quality headphones', you could always use the mute bit for listening to random orifices after a curry. Just a thought. Buy a silent brass instead.

i could make one of them myself!!

what a waste of money!!

 

[frisp]

It's got to be a pish-take with a line like :-

"A prominant college professor writes:"

Silent Brass is awful enough to use but at least it's a proper gadget!

 

[DaveK]

I thought it was the genuine article until I saw the "surgical quality" headphones......

I sincerely hope someone is at it because that's the worst business Idea I've ever seen!

 

[On the Horn]

MUHAHAHA - I have to have one! For those who cannot afford silent brass.

 

[HBB]

I don't need one -- i seldom practice ... unless my conductor is looking on this forum!

 

[Aidan]

whats wrong with learning to play quiet?

 

[On the Horn]

Its a fashion accessiory.

 

[Tuba Girl]

That has to be a joke. How could anybody insert a peacemaker into anybody using that device. Oh, I meant a pacemaker.

Only Joking :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That is very ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Despot]

No, it's for real.

I've seen them or at least something very similar for sale in a few music shops.

Never tried it though, already have practise mutes and silent brass, I've enough gadgets without getting anymore!

 

[BigHorn]

Amazingly this is not a spoof. They do actually exist and I had a go on one a while back. The mute itself is well made and robust and very effective. Its quieter than a denis wick practice mute and offers about the same or a little less resistance. Unfortunately the person who owned it didnt have the stethoscope bit with them so I can't comment on how good the whole ensembe is.
If I needed a cornet practice mute I might be tempted to order one. They are quite cheap after all.

 

[JohnnyEuph]

Not wanting to detract from the actual functionality of the thing... It might be very useful.

Doesn't stop it looking like a cheap bit of tat does it?
