Does Ron Appeson still make mutes? I have one of his that I bought about a dozen years ago. It works well in my Mirafone, providing the right timbre without doing damage to intonation. The horn still plays like a tuba with the mute installed. But it does have a hardware store look about it.

I've also played a Stonelined Symphonic mute that felt like I'd put a big cork in the bell. Though I dislike all mutes, the Appeson was a big improvement over the much more expensive Stonelined.

I'm so out of date on this stuff, though, that Appeson may not still be in business.
