Jason,

Most people I know will tell you the same thing: A good straight tuba mute doesn't exist. If there is any instrument that doesn't sound well with a mute in, I believe that the tuba is the prime example. In my opinion, the sound doesn't resonate at all and it makes the instrument very weak. I will get ready to brace myself for all sorts of bad criticisms.
