A light and very good-playing cup mute, more than likely. Black and 
white. My favorite cup mute for jazz work. Less "mutey" than the 
Stonelined versions. You've seen myeuse it in  Dean's band. I broke 
the cup part out so that it's convertible and I use it as my 
"in-the-gig-bag", all in one mute.

Not made for many years and hard to find. A regular Stonelined...not 
the Mica Mute...comes closest.
