However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Yamaha SB2J Silent Brass system is a revolutionary tool for brass musicians, consisting of a uniquely designed mute and the Personal Studio STJ for seamless interfacing with devices. This technologically advanced system works by silencing your instrument while allowing you to hear yourself playing through headphones. It captures the sound of your instrument with a specially designed mini microphone, optimising the audio quality through Yamaha's Brass Resonance Modelling technology.
The result is an open, natural sound, as if you're not using a mute at all. With the Personal Studio STJ, you can easily connect to a computer or smart device for recording, online practice sessions, or playing along with your favourite tracks. The Yamaha SB2J Silent Brass is a game-changer, providing a silent, versatile, and immersive playing experience without any compromises.
Please note: It is recommended to check your instrument's bell diameter to ensure that this mute fits. See the manual for a table showing the recommended sizes of bells. To prevent damage, please don't stand your instrument on its bell when the Pickup mute is installed. Batteries are not included.
Product Ref: 271998
The Pickup Mute is a revolutionary accessory for brass instruments, designed with easy attachment and removal in mind. Its compact design allows it to fit neatly inside the bell of your instrument, enabling you to store your instrument with the mute still attached. Even with its solid functionality, it's so light that you hardly feel its weight, reducing strain and letting you play in a more natural way. The Pickup Mute also features a specially designed mini microphone, optimised to maximize the potential of Yamaha’s Brass Resonance Modelling.
The Brass Resonance Modelling technology in the Yamaha Silent Brass system is an innovative feature that enhances your playing experience. This technology works by cancelling out the muted sound of your instrument, allowing it to sound as open and natural as if it were unmuted. The technology processes the sound picked up by the mini microphone, eliminating the 'closed' sound that is typically produced when a mute is used. The natural sound that resonates from the bell when the instrument is played without a mute is then added to the mix in your headphones, resulting in a realistic tone that accurately mimics the natural sound of a brass instrument.
As part of this technology, Yamaha has included sound modes that cater to different listening experiences. These include 'Player' mode and 'Audience' mode. In 'Player' mode, Silent Brass adjusts the left-right balance of the sound to match the player's position, enabling a highly immersive playing experience that simulates the feel of playing the instrument in front of you. 'Audience' mode, on the other hand, recreates the sound of your instrument from the perspective of a listener, making it an excellent choice for recording sessions or online lessons.
In addition to these modes, the Silent Brass system also offers built-in reverb control that allows you to recreate the ambience of different playing environments. The reverb effect can simulate the acoustic characteristics of both small practice rooms with minimal reverberation, and large concert halls with rich and dense reverberation. This flexibility enables you to tailor your sound to match any performance space, thereby making your playing feel more authentic and immersive.
The Personal Studio STJ is equipped with a micro USB port that allows for a seamless connection to computers and smart devices. The convenience of using the provided USB cable to connect the Personal Studio to your desired device greatly simplifies the process, removing the need for additional audio interfaces or complex wiring configurations. An adapter may be required for smartphone connections.
It can be seamlessly connected to Yamaha's free Rec’n’Share app on smart devices, allowing you to play along with audio tracks stored on your device. Not only that, but it also enables you to record your performance and share it online. The app also includes beneficial features like adjustable playback tempo, an AB repeat function for focused practice on specific sections, and a click track analysis for rhythm assistance. These features make practice more efficient, productive, and enjoyable.
The adjustable rod of the mute allows for fine-tuning the position of the mute head within the bell while playing. This feature provides the ability to customize the feel and pitch, ensuring a perfect fit for your instrument and playing style. Additionally, the mute can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of bell sizes.
When not in use, the disassembled mute body halves can be conveniently stacked for compact storage.
