Actually, for the big horn I prefer to set it on the chair, and if it is metal or plastic the leather is even more helpful. I've had the horn almost pitch off the edge on small seats.

That's a great idea, but when I sit on most chairs, there isn't enough chair seat left out for the horn.

I get mine at Target.....although, finding black is hit or miss. You can find it in the kitchen section with all the other shelf paper.

"There was a time when I had a lot more room. They must be making chairs smaller each year. Somebody should do something."

I've noticed the same thing down here in Texas. I wonder who the modern chair manufacturers are, and why are they doing this?

I find that if there are enough hot babes in the orchestra I can rest the horn on my penis. If there aren't, I always keep a spare Mayfair Magazine in my music folder to fix things if the horn starts slipping.

Rev. Dave,
I have the item you speak of...its called a Steward Stand and because i am also horizontally challanged, I removed the ball that sits ont the chair, added about 18 inches of 1" wooden dowel, a rubber foot from a cane and shazzam! a tuba stand that stays with the tuba and weighs less than a pound. May not be the prettiest thing in the world but it works quite well

When you miss the room, use the Tubassist, especially for BAT's. It can be adjusted for any tuba, chair and human size, allowing you to sit in the most comfortable position.

I have always used a computer "mouse pad" ....just tear the facing off and it acts as a great non-slip pad that is cheap....and very easy to find. Use one of the Rubber ones, not foam.
