One of the best mutes I ever tried was a plastic detergent bottle with cork strips glued to the side. It was far, far better than the old red and white Hulmes and Berg mute I was using at the time - in tune and good right down into the low register.
It just looked a bit daft. I still have it and my students use it if, for some reason, they don't have their own mute with them.
