SelfieSound Trumpet Sound Reflector
SelfieSound Trumpet Sound Reflector
The SelfieSound is a simple acoustic reflector designed to help trumpet players hear themselves more clearly while practicing and performing. Mounted directly to the bell, it reflects a portion of your sound back toward you, providing immediate feedback without electronics, headphones, or a monitor system.
This extra feedback can be particularly useful in loud ensembles, amplified settings, outdoor performances, and other situations where it can be difficult to hear your own sound behind the bell. By hearing yourself more clearly, you may be less inclined to overplay simply to compete with the surrounding volume, helping you play more efficiently and conserve endurance throughout a long rehearsal or performance.
The SelfieSound can also be a valuable practice tool, making details in articulation, intonation, attacks, and tone easier to hear from the player's position. Unlike larger sound shields or stands, it attaches directly to the instrument and moves with you while you play.
Its adjustable design accommodates a range of trumpet bell sizes and is positioned to leave room for many clip-on microphones and mutes, making it practical for live performance where both may be needed.

Why Use a SelfieSound?
The sound you hear behind a trumpet is considerably different from what projects out in front of the bell. In a loud performance environment, that difference can make it tempting to work harder simply because you cannot hear yourself clearly.
The SelfieSound gives you more immediate feedback from your instrument while leaving the bell open. Whether you are working on details in the practice room or trying to hear yourself over a rhythm section on stage, it provides a straightforward solution: more of your own sound reaches your ears.
Microphones and Mutes
The SelfieSound mounts around the bell rather than covering the bell opening, allowing it to be used with many traditional mutes and clip-on microphone systems. Exact compatibility may vary depending on the mute, microphone, and mounting hardware being used.
