I have not tried it because it's $131.56 on Amazon but I might have to suck it up and pay (unless I can find one used).
edit: Happy Cake Day!
I have the first model, this black, oval, thing.
The back pressure is pretty intense, I try to not use it unless I really, really need to and even then only for warmups and light etude work at best. I think the modern ones are probably much lighter and work more effectively, but I'd say in a pinch the older one will work.
Invest in a Silent Brass Mute. I've got one for my tuba, and one for my bass trombone. Quiet in the house, and with the added benefit of being able to use effects pedals in performance.
I got one of these for my trumpet and it works pretty well: link
There is two models for trumpet the new one and the older model I have the newer one, it is smaller and you can store it in your bell and it should still fit in your case. Ive heard the older one is just as good.
Whenever I use it, 9/10 times I'm just using the mute and not with the system or headphones. So look into other mutes as well that do the same job, but are cheaper without all the electronics. Wallace makes a good one and ive heard the trumcor is really good.
Yamaha Silent Brass, expensive but you may decide it's worth it.
