The main brass instruments that use mutes are trumpets and trombones. Other brass instruments like the tuba are so big and the sound is so deep that they generally don't need to use mutes. French horns also use mutes, but they don't have the same variety since the majority of mutes are used only in Jazz Music.

∙ 13y agoMutes are actually NOT used to quiet the instrument. They change the tone of the sound. A straight mute will give an instrument a "tinny" sound, a cup mute will give it a "far away" sound, and a harmon mute will give it a "growl" sound. There are MANY types of mutes out there that all do different things to the sound. Straight mute is the most common.
There are also practice mutes, which ARE made to quiet the instrument.
