I have in my closet a beautiful Yamaha copper-bottom aluminum straight mute - and a Bach plastic (!) cup mute.

good luck getting a section of Balu mutes together. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on the planet that plays one.

Just curious- are you then going to but the requisite amount needed for your section of each brand and test them out? That sounds like an expensive proposition.
