Rubber, 2-hole design. Similar to tourte, but mutes a bit more.

What Should I Look For in a Mute?
All string players should have at least one mute, and there are three important factors to consider. First and foremost, ease of use. How quickly can the mute be put in place or removed? How important is this to you? Orchestral players sometimes only have one measure to install or remove a mute. Secondly, sound quality. The goal of the mute is to lower the volume only, not dampen the good quality of your instrument. Regarding overall sound quality, the degree to which a mute "rattles" when not in use but still on the strings between the bridge and tailpiece is important as well. Third is aesthetics. Truth be told, many players consider the importance of overall look and feel, trying a variety of mutes to find out what works and looks best on their instrument. Fortunately, mutes are not too expensive, so this is a relatively low cost endeavor.

Ordering for school orchestras

Shar, you need a separate line item distinguishing between violin and viola for two-hole mutes such as the Glaesel and Tourte. The viola string spacing is wider and does not accommodate Glaesel and Tourte two-hole violin mutes. Thus the "glaesel 2 hole mute for violin or viola is wrong.

Pretty Satisfied

This mutes a little more than the regular tourte because of the slightly heavier top which clamps over the bridge. I find that it still produces a clear sound despite being heavier. My only complaint is that is takes a little time to get used to sliding it onto the bridge without making any noise. It doesnt rattle, however, as much as a lighter mute would. Overall pretty satisfied.
