The E-Trumpet
Electrifying Brass Instruments for the Modern Era
A patented pending breakthrough that gives brass players what they've never had — a direct electronic signal path for amplification, effects, and wireless connectivity. Named for inventor trumpeter Macrae, the E-Mute transforms any brass instrument into an electrified powerhouse.
The Brass Instrument Family
Brass instruments encompass a wide range — trumpet, trombone, French horn, cornet, flugelhorn, euphonium, baritone horn, Sousaphone, pocket and bass trumpets, contrabass, Wagner tubas, and tuba.
Every one of these instruments faces the same limitation: no native electronic signal path.

Trombone
French Horn
Tuba
Euphonium
Flugelhorn
Plus cornet, baritone horn, Sousaphone, pocket trumpet, bass trumpet, contrabass, and Wagner tubas — all addressable by the Mac-Mute platform.
The Problem
Today, the only option for brass players who want to elctrify their instrument is the Yamaha SB7X-2 Trumpet Silent Brass System . It's designed for quiet practice.
Mic-Only Workaround External bell microphones are unreliable, feedback-prone, and limit mobility
No XLR Output Cannot connect to standard amplifiers or PA systems directly
No Effects Chain Impossible to run through distortion pedals or signal processors
The core limitation: All brass instruments currently rely on a microphone placed at the bell for relaying analogue to digital signal. There is no integrated electronic pickup — until now!
The Solution
Electrified Trumpet
Introducing the E-Trumpet
We have patented a new product — the Electrified Trumpet system. Named in honor of inventor Macrae Eckelberry, the E-Mute replaces the traditional practice mute with a device that provides a direct electronic signal path, enabling amplification, effects processing, and wireless connectivity for any brass instrument.
How It Works
The E-Mute fits into the bell of any brass instrument just like a conventional mute — but inside, patented circuitry captures the acoustic signal and converts it to a clean electronic output compatible with standard audio equipment and sound editing software.
Business Model
Mutes cost $25–$40 to manufacture and retail at $150.00, delivering strong margins from day one.
Additional revenue comes from upgrades: wireless jacks, custom circuitry, and effects add-ons.
We are raising in capital for general operations, with a projected 6-month timeline to ROI if financed properly.
