Yeah. I made both of mine from scratch. I ended up doing what you did, and made the exact same accidental discovery. Later, I removed the end caps and glued ultra thin polystyrene sheets over the inside of the holes.

Result? Even better!

For me, the tone was louder and buzzier. It made both mutes easier to control as well. Personally, I have trouble with the muted stuff in "Rite" and "Firebird" cutting through enough to even bother playing it. Now my mutes match with the rest of the brass better and I don't have to kill myself to get that really edgy, tinny quality.
