Mute for large Tuba

Does anyone have any ideas on good mutes for very large tuba bells? Lately, I have been using a large (not large enough) aluminum mute with built-up corks. This bent hubcap changes the quality of the sound very little, yet raises the pitch so much that even I, owner of the worst ear in show business, can tell there is a problem. Is there a tuba mute that sounds like straight mutes used by trombone and trumpet players? One that puts a little buzz in the sound? If you have ideas, please mail me at featherbut(AT)aol.com.

Thanks
