The trumpet part calls for Solo-Tone mute.
What should we use as a substitute? Cup?

"The solo-tone mute is shaped like a long straight mute, and includes sound baffles inside the mute that accentuate treble frequencies. Because it sounds much like a tightly inserted cup mute, it is no longer written for, although it can be common in jazz ensemble music written between 1930 and 1950."
