I like it! It's kind of like a plunger mute for playing big band or big band style arrangements. You can purchase specifically made "mutes" from different makers that are made with the idea of a plunger mute in mind, but I got my plunger for $1.25 at a grocery store, unscrewed the stick and cut a hole in the middle and voila! Cheap, but all that I need. (Note - the hole in the middle seems to help with both sound and intonation, and it was what the rest of the section had done.)
