I don't trust myself with the finer points of tenor trombone mutes. My first attempt, to just scale down the bass trombone mute, didn't work at all. So I spent a lot of time collaborating with leading trombone players and listening to colleagues play prototypes. After all that I am now confident this is not just a good mute but a GREAT straight mute.

Plastic: Surprisingly clear for me. Least intuitive option but works well I think!
Aluminium: Clear, bright, and direct. Most responsive and open especially in low register.
Heavyweight Aluminium: Dense, but with strong articulation.
Brass: A bit wider, articulation less pronounced.
Annealed Brass: Covered articulation, warm, but not as dense as copper.
Heavyweight Copper: Very dense. Warm, can take a lot of energy without breaking up.
