Well, no new instrument, but a majorly cool accessory. Something called Silent Brass. You put the mute part in the bell of the trumpet, and no one can hear you. What a blessing to the neighbors, eh? =0) But then the mute hooks up into this little console, and you put in the headphones, and you can hear yourself clear as day! The best part is the effects you can put on yourself. You can make it sound like you're in a practice room, concert hall, or a church. SO cool!
