PopcornEater1963 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Does anyone here have hands-on experience with silent brass systems for marching baritones? My son wants one for his trombone at college, and I'm curious if the same unit will work with a baritone when he gets back into DCI audition season.

I like them alot, but the resistance it puts back on your lips makes the embouchure tire faster. Yea, I've heard this. He just wants the opportunity to get in extra work in his dorm in late hours. What I can't figure out is if a trombone mute will also work with baritone. In a very short period of time he'll be prepping Cavaliers audition work while also having a full plate at school on trombone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone-Tone Lord Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Trombone bells are significantly smaller than baritone bells, so the same equipment won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could always soundproof if his roomate is ok with it? Buy the proper padding for the walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will one version for 'euphonium' actually accommodate both trombone (school) and marching baritone (corps)?

JAZZER Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/winds/silent_brass/silent_brass/specs.html In some cases, the Pickup Mute™ may not fit instruments that have significantly different bell diameters and/or shapes. Please check before purchasing. The Pickup Mute™ is not compatible with Piccolo Trumpets, Alto (Tenor) Horns, Baritones, Alto Trombones, Tenor Trombones and Marching Brass Instruments.
