One major thing to consider, if you are looking to use this in ensemble playing, is that the standard for orchestral and band performance is the metal mute sound. Every time I have used a mute in performance it has been in a situation in which I needed to match the rest of the brass and a cardboard or wood mute wouldn't have done that. If it was a solo setting I might prefer the warmth and intonation of a wooden one, but I wouldn't base a mute purchase on solo performing.
