Sold: Yamaha Silent Brass SB1X Tuba Mute
Posted: Wed Apr 28, 2021 3:46 pm
This is a Yamaha Silent Brass SB1X practice mute for tuba (3d generation). If you are not familiar with this gadget, it consists of a tuba mute, adjustable pickup mike, electronic control box, and earphones. When using it, you get a realistic tuba sound through the earphones while very little sound passes to the outside world. You can even adjust the ambiance to sound like you're playing in a concert hall. This is perfect for keeping your lip in shape without bothering people who don't appreciate tuba music as much as you do. The system is less that three years old, and I've only used it a few times. It's in near-new condition and works perfectly. Includes mute, pickup mic, controller, ear buds, and straps. Pictures on request. Mute dimensions (diameter x length) 335mm 13-3/16" x 27-3/8", weight 3 lbs. 15oz. This is priced well below the going rate online (cost new is in the $600-900 range). Buyer pays actual shipping costs, to be worked out at the time of sale.
