Slippery tuba stand. Suggestions?
I have a K&M Tuba Stand to hold my large horn when I play. The cradle (see photo) is rubber. The SLIGHTEST bit of water (from the water key) will make the stand VERY slippery. The tuba slips very quickly and I'm afraid I might one day lose control and either hit my face or drop the horn. Has anyone else had this experience? If so, have you found a solution or do you have a stand you recommend? Thank you!

How about a layer or two of that no-slip shelf liner?

Maybe a terry cloth towel? Those are not really slippery, and it would absorb the moisture as well.

Use this:

I put this on both the bottom of my tuba and my tuba rest to preclude slipping.

Re: Slippery tuba stand. Suggestions?
I have that stand.
It is slippery.
My horn's bow moves unhindered and it feels like it's just about to fall out of my hands.
I bought some thin (~0.08") thick neoprene strip and heavy duct tape off Amazon.
Neoprene surface holds horn in position.
No more fear of horn taking flight.

Cabinet liner is the way to go.

How about gluing some indoor/outdoor carpeting to it?

Car dash sticky gel pads might do the trick
