Using a mute with a Trumpet, contrary to popular belief, does not just make the trumpet quieter. It changes the sound to fit a certain style of music. There are three main mutes which are used frequently, the Straight mute, which is used for Classical Music, the cup mute which is used for jazz, and also the Harmon mute, which is also used for jazz.
