I payed £95 for mine trombone one for horn and my mate from another company paid £90 and that is a cornet one.
Then they go and change it
I bought a euphonium Silent Brass a couple years ago. Just the mute, as my daughter already had the trumpet and Flugel mutes and the electronics. I haven't used it in quite some time. I found it didn't respond well to the lowest register. Now they've changed Silent Brass, and I understand the electronics are closer to a little studio, with effects.
The guy who plays bass trombone in our orchestra uses his SB mute as a straight mute for practice. I'm not sure he's ever plugged it in.

I have had the SB euphonium mute for some time, and now only use it about once a month as a sort of 'refresher' to hear the sound close up and dry.
I much prefer the Dennis Wick practice mute which can really ring when played true.
The SB is good for the various acoustics and direct recording but the weight on balance are problem.

I asked around about silent brass once and was told there is no specific tenor horn one made but the trombone one fits fine.
Never bought one in the end, couldn't afford it so just got a practice mute instead. From what i'm told the silent brass works as well as a practice mute, unless you have the reverberance on church mode all the time!
Think the *beepety* *beep*ing *beep*er is fixed now!

I used to have one for in halls, but sold it in the end and bought one of the little wallace collection jobbies. They're quite good, but I always had CBA setting up the headphones etc. Beware putting it on "church mode" and thinking you sound great! :wink:

I've been wanting to get this system for years and all the advertising sounds great, but my main problem is the neighbours (we have thin walls and floors!), the advertising says that you can't hear anything unless you're plugged in but surely that's rubbish?? Especially if some people use them as practice mutes (and they must be able to hear without plugging it all in!)

practise mutes are very effective- I have friends who have them and they're really quiet... I need to get hold of one someday... (and no, not to stick in my drum kit! )

I have a silent brass mute for my euphonium. They're ok if you're in a college dorm situation if you don't have access to the music buidling and a practice room. The main thing that I hate about it is its like you are dealing with a bunch of wires (ac adapter if you use it, the wire that hooks up from the mute to the modual headphones, metronome if you plug it in to the modual). If they made one that's wireless that would be cool. As somebody metioned earlier, the low register doesn't speak to well with the mute.
I hardly use mine nowdays except occasionaly I use just the mute as a practice mute.
