check out schlipf practice mutes if you're interested in buying, they do straight mutes with the cup attachment and I'm sure some others....

Contact Humes and Berg. I BELIEVE (remember, you are reading this on TubeNet--take the with the appropriate amount of salt) that they can make tuba-friendly models of any design they carry. Presumably, this kind of customization will run on the extreme northern end of free and probably won't be quick.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Hmm. A Harmon mute for tuba. Yeah, that's it! Especially with the tube pulled part way out! Yeah, that's it!

...espescially when placed on a tympani head under the music stand when the tympanist isn't looking!

I seem to remember reading about/hearing that Howard Johnson used a toilet seat with a handle for plunger-esque effects with Charles Mingus' band.
