YAMAHA SILENT BRASS FOR TUBA

[eeflattuba]

I am a big fan of these since I sold my house and moved into a small townhouse. They may be not be everybody's cup of tea but it works for me.My question is;is there a new model of this particular mute available? Mine is showing signs of wear as most of the clips that hold the mute together are broken. It still works but I am just exploring other options. I have tried other practice mutes but the silent brass system seems to fit my needs when I can not go to my shop to practice open.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can buy replacement clips...

I am aware of that but the companies that supply said clips do not ship to Canada.There is a facebook group called tuba/euphonium in which John Manning, tuba professor from Iowa mentions in a thread that he tried the new Yamaha silent brass at ITEC.

I have pre ordered a new and improved silent brass system from the horn guys.Steve was great to deal with. Very professional and a first rate shop to deal with.
