- chaffneue 13y agoI remember a tenor sax hanging off my neck was enough work let alone having its entire hard case attached :) It seems, to me, the best solution for all of these issues is just to rent a practice space and go play until your cheeks and lips fall off. I am pretty amazed with how the trumpet output sounds through that Yamaha mute, though - it looks like you could even circuit bend that gadget to do some nasty things to a trumpet's tone.
- muraiki 13y agoYeah, it really is remarkable! Synthesized brass/winds are generally quite bad. I was very skeptical, but watching the video changed my mind. I do have an old trumpet lying around... I did see a video for the sax case where a person had it mounted on some kind of stand, so that's probably a lot more feasible!
- TylerE 13y agoI don't think they're actually synthesizing anything in the traditional sense...just essentially using a DSP to convert sound in the bell to natural room sound.
- memset 13y agoFellow sax player here. I've never seen anyone use one of those.
- dmead 13y agoalso a sax player. do those practice bag thingies even work? i'd rather just use my ewi if its really a time of day making actual sound is not allowed.
- ribs 13y agoWhoa. I've never seen that before. I play trombone. And I've never felt bad for sax players until now :-)
- jchendy 13y agoWow, that thing is nuts! I thought I had it bad with drums.
- Yhippa 13y agoI'd love to hear if anybody's ever used this and had success with it.
