Bottom bow slides on pant legs

[MileMarkerZero]

If you want to tie it to the horn with no pucker, try this:

Tie it on the horn as is. Take a fine point sharpie, and draw lines where the puckers are. Start at the point of the pucker and draw outward. When you take the stuff off of the horn, you should see that the lines make a series of v's along the edge of the liner. cut out those v's and lash the cuts together (close the v's) with heavy nylon thread. It should now conform to the bottom bow of your horn.

It would be similar to the bottom diagram:

I fold up a black standard terry cloth dishtowel. Works great, and it helps keep the horn clean, mops up the occasional water drips, and in a pinch I can throw it over the bell for a decent mute.

Used to use shelf liner, but would still suffer from eventual creep. I mostly stick to the modified drum throne these days, but what now rides in my gig bag as backup is a piece of yoga mat. Thick, comfortable, and seems to give in less to creeping than the shelf liner I used.

I bought a black 1/4'" foam sheet at a local craft store and cut out a bunch of triangles about 5" wide at the base and the glued them together to get the height I wanted and then rounded off the corners. It sits between my legs pointing towards me and the tuba rest on top. The foam, like the shelf liner holds the horn in place. I also built a shorter one for when I play on foam padded seats I need a little extra height.
