Since I already own a silent brass mute, I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked the DW Practice mute

.. used a yamaha silent brass mute before

More quiet than a Yamaha Silent Brass

Works as as it should .

Superb for sound limiting as well as for improving practice and air volume enhancement....
