May 25, 200817 yr This seemed like a very intriguing idea. I'm curious to know how well it actually works in practise. In any case, I figured I'd share the concept with you guys because it's kind of cool: e-Sax | Best Brass Corporation
May 25, 200817 yr Yeah, I've seen these and discussed them with my other saxophone-playing friends. No one's tried one yet as no one's encountered one. I live in a block house with dual-pane windows, so my neighbors can't hear me practice anyway. ;)
May 25, 200817 yr Screw practicing with it...hook the thing up to some guitar pedals!! I'm not kidding! It looks like it's from the future!
May 25, 200817 yr Author Actually what it looks like is dirty things done with penguins...but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that it's a nifty idea :)
May 25, 200817 yr That'd be great for learning the instrument without actually having to make everybody around hear you in the horrible ear-wrenching process of learning. :w00t: I'd like to see models for other instruments... sadly impossible for flute, I imagine.

It would be nice to see a serious microphone put into the mute thingy. Plenty of us are using electronics with open horns, but it'd be WAY COOL to be able to prevent the acoustic sound and work solely with with pickup/effected sound. *considers popping open his SilentBrass mute thingy*
