In this video, I test 2 different plunger mutes and there's a big difference in the intonation. I've used a regular plunger, with a hole drilled through, for years. But now, I'm going to stick with the KR Indigo Plunger. Please take a listen!

I love Kenny’s plungers

[@jeremymilos]

Me too! They did a great job with those.

The other plunger will play in tune if you make a hole in it like the Rampton mute has. Clark Terry showed our trumpet section to do that along with a nickel in the hole to adjust for different timbres/intonation. I believe this is what the master of the plunger Snooky Young also did. But I would still choose the Rampton plunger over any other, the sound is great.
Kenny has what looks like a pin and a penny in the hole to adjust the sound like a valve. Cool vid! Thanks Jeremy!! Always great videos.

Hey John! Always great to hear from you, man! So cool that you got to meet Clark Terry and that he showed you and the rest of the section what to do. Are you out on a ship right now?

The hole doesn’t matter. The traditional mute is too small to play in tune.
