The Blue Note Strap doesn't require hooks. On each end of the strap there are big loops which easily fit around the bow or any pipe on the instrument.

Told 'ya so!! I used my MW harness for eight hours Friday night and for another eight hours Saturday night. (alternating with another group from Chicago... an hour on an and an hour off). Works great on my B & B stencil.

I've one custom made, thought I'd share this with you:

Most of the weight is supported by a strap around the waist. There is a second strap over the left shoulder. The key is to keep the tuba as close to the body as possible, reducing the actual weight.
