Question:	Could this be used with a Yamaha tenor trombone
Answer:	Yes...this will work great...
Question:	Will this work with the jiggs pbone plastic trombone (pbone is distributed worldwide by conn-selmer
Answer:	Here is a link to Yamaha showing the Yamaha models this will work on. These are pretty much standard in size bells and work on my brands of trombones, The bell size for your pbone is 8" and I don't see where you would have a problem. https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/winds/silent_brass/silent_brass/compatibility_table.html#product-tabs
Question:	Will this mute work with Bach trombones
Answer:	I have a Bach and yes it works.
Question:	What is the difference between this (sb5x2) and the sb5xc model? (not the sb5x, which mrsilvertrumpet explains already, but the model with the "c
Answer:	Yamaha never came out with a SB5XC. Prior to the SB5X series was the SB59 and then later the SB59C. The "C" stood for an extra 1/8" male to 1/8" male cable that Yamaha provided so that you could hook up your CD or MP3 player to the ST9 Module. When the SB5X model come out the still included this extra cable. So the SB5X has the extra cable the and the SB5X-2 does not. Again, Yamaha never listed the new SB5X with a C. If you are see that somewhere, it is a seller that has created that that model number not Yamaha. I am a authorized dealer with Yamaha for 14 years and know this particular product line very well.

User questions & answers

Product description

Needing to practice at odd times and in odd places over the years (and the absence of a suitable musical mute) was the reason Trevor Bremner designed the sshhmute. In development over several years in his New Plymouth workshop, the sshhmute is at long last in full commercial production and has been successfully launched to answer a market need for an effective mute for brass instruments in a price range to suit budding musicians and professionals alike. The sshhmute is made from lightweight, yet hard-wearing, ABS plastic with no parts to break or fall off. Perhaps one of the primary benefits of the sshhMute design when compared with other silent mutes, is the very small amount of back-pressure it creates. This allows for better air supply, while still opening and developing the throat muscles. Our mute also remains in tune and faithfully accurate throughout the entire range.

• Allows a player to practice almost anywhere
• Small amount of back pressure compared to other practice (silent) mutes
• Remains in tune and faithfully accurate throughout the entire range
• Made from lightweight, yet hard-wearing, ABS plastic
• Perfect for warm-ups before going on stage

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this mute stick out far out of the bell? I'm wondering if it'll fit in my case in the bell
Answer:	Hey Josh, this mute comes about 1.5 inches out of my conn 88h bell, so it usually wouldn't fit in most cases, unless you're using a gig bag I imagine.
Question:	Does it fit a large bore F-attachment trombone
Answer:	Yes. This mute fits perfectly in a large bore F-attachment trombone.
Question:	Is this the mk i or the mk ii model
Answer:	This is definitely the mk II model.
Question:	What is the diameter of the small end of the mute. I want to use a mute in my King 1124, bell-front baritone horn. Will this fit it
Answer:	Hi David! Yes, it should fit. Diameter of the small end is 1 3/4". Worst case, you may have to add additional foam to make it tighter in the bell. These are amazing mutes! Happy Holidays! DirectSales14

Question:	Will this mute fit a Kanstul 1525 Flugelhorn
Answer:	I have a Bach and yes it works.
Question:	Is it softer than a silent brass system
Answer:	Yamaha never came out with a SB5XC. Prior to the SB5X series was the SB59 and then later the SB59C. The "C" stood for an extra 1/8" male to 1/8" male cable that Yamaha provided so that you could hook up your CD or MP3 player to the ST9 Module. When the SB5X model come out the still included this extra cable. So the SB5X has the extra cable the and the SB5X-2 does not. Again, Yamaha never listed the new SB5X with a C.

Question:	Could this be used with a Yamaha tenor trombone
Answer:	I am just barely able to get my hand in to clean. If you have large or very large hands, that’ll be a “no.” The handle is about 1” in diameter. I find it a very comfortable grip size.
Question:	Will this work with the jiggs pbone plastic trombone (pbone is distributed worldwide by conn-selmer
Answer:	Yes, it will do that. I have mine on a Wemo switch, connected with my alarm. When I turn the alarm off, the water begins heating in the kitchen and is usually finished just as I get there. I also tied the switch into Google Home and can say "... make me some tea" to get it going. Because I am a dork. It works so long as the pot is full, switched on and the Wemo switched off. When I forget... it's a sad day.
Question:	Will this mute work with Bach trombones
Answer:	No persistent plastict contact with water, but the plastic top contacts water when you empty the kettle.
Question:	What is the difference between this (sb5x2) and the sb5xc model? (not the sb5x, which mrsilvertrumpet explains already, but the model with the "c
Answer:	China. This appears to be a bait and switch- all advertising, including on Mueller website implies European made. Sure, they don’t specifically claim it is made in Austria, just that there is no way to know prior to buying this. Of course if you want Chinese made there are tons of options out there. Why limit yourself to this one?

Question:	I have a conn 88h and a shires bass. Will this mute work for both
Answer:	This is definitely the mk II model.
Question:	Does it really work on a bass trombone
Answer:	Hi David! Yes, it should fit. Diameter of the small end is 1 3/4". Worst case, you may have to add additional foam to make it tighter in the bell. These are amazing mutes! Happy Holidays! DirectSales14
Question:	Does this mute stick out far out of the bell? I'm wondering if it'll fit in my case in the bell
Answer:	The positions don't match full size because the mini is an alto. It's in the key of Eb. Probably not a good idea if the 7 year old is trying to learn along with other tenor trombones. But idk if a 7 year old can reach all the positions on a full size.
Question:	Does it fit a large bore F-attachment trombone
Answer:	7 inch bell and dual bore Ø 0.485/ Ø 0.500.
Question:	Is this the mk i or the mk ii model
Answer:	It comes with a plastic mouthpiece
Question:	What is the diameter of the small end of the mute. I want to use a mute in my King 1124, bell-front baritone horn. Will this fit it
Answer:	The mini is an alto trombone in Eb. pBone sells a tenor model, but I don’t know its bore size.

User questions & answers

Question:	How heavy is the mute? Is it uncomfortable? I remember that being a complaint about the old versions
Answer:	Just buy two mutes

Question:	Will this model (sb5xc) fit both tenor and bass trombone

User questions & answers

Question:	Is delivery fast
Answer:	We ship within 1 business day. If you are a Prime member, 2 day shipping is free.
Question:	can you plug it into a amp because the images do not show a jack
Answer:	Yes. There are 3 sockets on the back of violin. One is "Line out" (for amp). One is "Mic" and one is "Phones". The Included cord for the amp is a little over 9 feet and is decent quality. There is no static backround noise and my violin comes in clear. *In the stock photo the amp cable is to the right of the headphones.
Question:	How can I plug it to my laptop? There is a chord but it doesn't fit the computer outlet
Answer:	It has a quarter inch plug, look for either an A to D connector, or (more easily a rocksmith cable) a USB interface. Electric instruments are almost all the same you'll never have the same sound as an acoustic. But it will give you a unique and interesting sound. Especially at this price point.
Question:	how quiet is it? I would be practicing during my toddlers nap time and need it to be very very quiet/silent with out an amp or head phones
Answer:	I get about 81 dB playing open strings. It’s not so quiet.
Question:	Does the kit come with strings attached or must you string them yourself
Answer:	The strings come attached. In fact, as soon as my violin came in, I took it to my local music store (who strung my acoustic violin) to have him check it out to see if the violin and strings are of good quality. He thought is was decent quality. I couldn't be happier with it, especially for the price. When you first get it, you will have to re-tune the strings every 10 minutes or so while you are playing, but after about a week of re-tuning (and it does need tuning less frequently with time) you are good to go. It doesn't hold a tune as well as my acoustic...I tune it before I begin playing usually, but it does hold well and the sound is fantastic. You can play it through an amp or into headphones and I think the sound quality is awesome. Hope this helps. :)

Cecilio Electric Violin

Whether you're practicing, recording in studio or performing on stage, the Cecilio electric violin outfit offers excellent functionality and style. It provides violinists of all levels with the ability to practice confidently without disturbing others. The outfit features a 1/8 output jack that allows you to connect to most guitar amps or PA systems (1/4 to 1/8 cable included), volume control that allow you to choose the ambience you want, headphone jack for practice and a line-in jack for practice with a background track. This violin package includes a well-padded lightweight hard case, a bow, rosin, bridge, pickup, aux cable, and headphones. Great for Student, Intermediate and Professional Violinist.

How to choose violin sizes

Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.

To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.

If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.
