A silent brass i nice, but waving around with 6 lbs on top of the shall is without exaggerating sub optimal
If I'd like headset, I'll just use a clip-on mike/amp.
So....What's on the market
that will fit different sized tubas...I'm in the marked for
1 mute

I like the Trumcor practice mute. I have a very early one and it works great, even the low register responds well. The newer ones look fancier and have worked well when I try them. Light in weight, too.

Thank you Alex C.
A reasonable priced mute without any fix-fax
on top limiting it to only one or two tubas

I have an old Humes & Berg practice mute that works on all of the instruments I play. It's a compromise, as it goes in far on the 6/4 CC and sticks out quite a bit on the F, but in general it works fairly well.
I know they are tailored to fit individually sized tubas, but I use my Schlipf mute sized for a 4/4 Nirschl on my F tuba. It doesn't work well with 6/4 instruments, but it's better than the Humes & Berg for my 2 smaller horns.
