    I have been playing trombone for over 25 years in a complete mix of types of groups (orchestra, concert band, big band, musical theatre, brass bands, etc) and the most common mute I have come across by a long way is the straight mute. I have also used the cup mute and occasionally the plunger mute (I generally use only the cup/straight all in one in rehearsals), but they are the only mutes I have ever actually come across and needed. I do also own a practice mute though.

      I've needed a Harmon a couple times. I've never needed a bucket mute, though. So it surprises me that he calls it a "must have in your bag at all times".
      I agree with you that straight is more common than cup mute. 60% of the time, I need a straight, 30% a cup. The other 10% is Harmon / plunger / Solotone / "Play into your stand".
      Of course, if you can carry only one mute, the cup mute that disassembles into a straight mute is an excellent choice.
      The one mute that is somehow absent here is the "Pixie" mute. For a video as comprehensive as this, I'm really surprised it wasn't included.

    Thanks for this the Solo Tone mute is my favourite, as someone who plays a lot of 1930s 1940s music i always wondered how they got some of the tones in the brass instruments the Solo Tone is one i hear a lot of in late 30s and 40s music especially in Glen Millers arrangements its certainly a sound you associate with ww2 and of that time period, sounds lovely when you have several trombones playing.

    You omitted the pixie mute which when combined with a plunger can almost make the trombone speak.................as I've heard you do with the Echoes of Ellington band many years ago....................................................

    Is there any chance you could tell me what is the difference in volume between the solotone, harmon and bubble mutes?
