For how many/what mutes?
I have a manhasset single that I've only used to hold a plunger: https://smile.amazon.com/Manhasset-1320-Acoustic-Guitar-Body/dp/B0002F7F9W
I have a hercules that holds the four mutes you need on the average big band gig:

I've been looking at the "broadway" mute racks on ebay:

+1 on the Hercules. I have several different styles of mute holders, and I prefer the Hercules. While I don't have the Broadway, judging from the Ebay photos, the design looks similar to the Hercules but doesn't seem to be as solid.

I've been eyeballing the Heritage Music Products mute rack for a while.

https://heritagemusicproducts.com/store/mute-rack/

I don't have one, so I can't post a review. The only downsides I can think of would be weight and that it doesn't collapse down, but it looks far more sturdy than any other holder I've seen on the market.

These days I prefer to scatter them at my feet. I need all the exercise I can get.

I worked with one guy who always put a pile of mutes on his music stand and pushed them around to actually see the part.

Kidding aside, for the most part I only use mute stands for musical theater. I usually use one or two individual mute holders and rotate the mutes as needed. If I need more mutes I'll often place them on an instrument case next to my chair. This requires very carefully planned mute choreography.

Mute Mate works great. I love the clamp...quick and easy.

I'm old an fat. I neither wish to lean forward nor bend over to reach a mute. Last summer I made a mute holder from a small overturned plastic waste basket. Cut a couple of holes in it and taped it to the left side of my chair. (Outside concerts are generally two mute events. )

I simply let my left arm drop and there's the mute.

When playing seated, that's what I usually did, except for if there was an unusually quick change (and even then usually a lap works fine). When standing in a big band, though, a mute rack is a huge help. And lately I've had to use a bell cover, which can come off before a muted section but has to go back on after. This effectively reduces the time you have by a couple measures usually. So a mute rack can save some time.

I mostly use a shelf that clamps to my music stand (sorry can’t remember the make) and sometimes a Hercules mute holder at the same time if a lot of mutes are required.

If I could remember how to post pictures on here I’d show you . 🤷🏻‍♂️

here's another good one.. (just note it doesn't fit on all music stands - slides on the lip of the stand desk - great on Manhasset metal - not so much on some Wenger stands)

https://www.peakmusicstands.com/peak-instrument-stands-1/mute-caddy-longoria-model

Heritage are nice in the studio.. I made my own.. and works great in a Pit Orch.. where you're not setting up and tearing down each show.

https://heritagemusicproducts.com

Mute mates are versitle and fit many stands. though I've overloaded mine and had it fall off the stand.. you have to be watchfull of how you balance the holders..

https://www.trumpetbook.com/mute-mate-mute-holders.html

I've also used a shipping box for Yankee Candles.. the ones the school band sell for fund raising.. the box when opened up sits nicely beside you and holds up to six mutes in an easily accessible cubby.

I have one like this. I was on a gig on a raised stage, went down low to grab a mute and almost fell forward, off the stage.

Trombone player beside me could not stop laughing.

I asked a friend who had a friend that made them with a brake press. He had a spare and give it to me.

No longer falling off the stage for me.

You might want to consider the Mute Caddy, they have a few great options.

I just made a video about them, it should give you a good idea what they are about.

It's a little amusing the the Peak mute holder wouldn't clip on to their Peak folding music stand.

I have a Hercules that I got on discount during my times in music retail. Pretty solid, fits on most stands, works fine.
