Check the archives, there have been quite a few discussions of the pros and cons of these. I only use mine when I haven't practiced in a while and need to late at night. It has helped preserve the sanity of the rest of my family. It does a good job of muting most of the sound, but at the expense of making the tuba top heavy and stuffy. I prefer not to use it, but at times it is a necessary evil.

They seem to come up often on a major auction site for significantly less than at other retail outlets.
