Any sources for the small corks used on Shastock mute?
Thanks!

Get sheet cork and cut it to size. It's what I do.

I'm not sure anyone sells cork specifically made to fit Shastock mutes.

I buy straight mute corks, cut them in half, and round the ends to match the other ends, if you're talking straights and tonal color mutes. (I like the ones with the peel-off paper you can just stick them on - no muss/no fuss. For Solotones and Whispas, make a template and use sheet cork from the hardware store. The stuff I got at my local Menards works better than some of the stuff on new mutes. I've actually recorked a new wa-wa mute so it would stay in better

I use an oval hole punch and make my own.

Can't remember the exact size, but something like this:
