Yamaha SB3X Silent Brass System (French Horn)

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, free 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.

Yamaha's Silent Brass System offers the advantage of practising or playing at times, and in places you couldn't before. And offers privacy for those a bit timid about having others hear their not so perfect notes. Simply plug in earphones to hear yourself in your own personal performance environment. The internal electronics can also enhance the sound digitally, to mimic the acoustics of a larger room. You can play along with your favourite pre-recorded music by plugging in a CD favourite pre-recorded music by plugging in a CD player and use the output jack to connect to an external amplifier or recorder to share your music with others.
