My choice is the Humes & Berg Symphonic model mute. This is not the stonelined, it is the all metal one. I now own two of these, one of each size offered, and they do the job for me. In looking for a mute, I would suggest making sure any mute you purchase doesn't have nonexistant notes, doesn't have horrible intonation issues, speaks well in all ranges/dynamics, and is adjusted properly to fit your tuba. That last one makes the most difference because any mute, if not properly adjusted for your horn, can have major problems as a result. After that, pick the sound you like.

My opinion for what its worth...
