While mutes do make the sound quieter, they are usually used to change the sound of the instrument, called the "timbre." Mutes are like the special effects of the music world. Among brass instruments, mutes are most common in trumpet and trombone. They are rarely used in euphoniums, baritones, and tubas. A straight mute is the most common. It gives the instrument a quieter, crisper sound. It is generally used in symphonic music. The rest are more common in jazz music: A cup mute makes the sound soft and clean. A harmon mute (or "wah" mute) has the mute part and a stem. It is used for its piercing, reedy sound. Nowadays, they are usually used with the stem out, but the namesake "wah" sound is created with the stem in. A common harmon mute user was Miles Davis. A plunger mute is literally shaped like the rubber cup of a toilet plunger with a hole drilled all the way through where the handle is inserted. In fact, all the professionals I know just bought toilet plungers for their plungers mutes. By opening and closing the plunger over the bell, the player can make a "doo-wop" sound. (Think Duke Ellington!)
