And for a cheap but serviceable option, a Renuzit mute: http://www.dallasmusic.org/gearhead/...ce%20Mute.html

Are you sure? because there is a link to a polish guy making his into an electronic one like the silent brass (maybe its not directly from that page though...)

Re: Which Silencer for trumpet practice at home

I usually use a Harmon without the stem and my family can sleep undisturbed upstairs. I have silent brass, but don't care for all the wires. I found the Jo Ral practice mute to be as stuffy as the silent brass mute so I didn't buy one. I use the silent brass mute alone, to warmup in church so no one hears it.

Owned a Wick practice mute for decades. Bought a Brass Spa practice mute. I prefer it. Both are good though.

Yes that is why. Fortunately I have fairly understanding neighbours!

The best & most popular practice mutes are "Warm Up" by Best Brass.

I am very proud and pleased that these by far the most in demand.

Used by the horn players on CBS "Letterman"
Ronnie Rom, University of Illinois
US Military
Black Dyke Mills Band, UK
and the list is endless .....

Being the forerunner and FIRST CALL in Warm Ups many many trumpet players are using these.

Why ???

Very simple... They work.
Designed by Shinji Hamanaga them man who brought us Silent Brass these little mutes are a dream.

Compact, lightweight and fits flush inside your bell. This enables one to carry the mute in any case or gig bag.

Many players from around the globe who use this have raved.

Follow the links for drop me an "e"

All the best my friends.

Look, dude, I know you have a business, but please, just suggest your mute without sounding like an infomercial. This is a trumpet forum, not an advertising site. It may be the best, but I have never seen one (or heard of them) being used, so I doubt it would be the most popular. Don't be a troll. Please

Re: Which Silencer for trumpet practice at home

One thing I neglected to mention in favor of a Silent Brass system is the line in jack. I can connect my metronome/mp3 player/CD player... and hear it along with my trumpet. It also has a line out so I can record whatever I'm practicing.
This of course is with the older module, I'm not sure if the new module still has all the input/output options.
