Any guitar strap can now be a tuba strap

Post by PaulTkachenko »

After looking for ages for a decent tuba strap (and not finding one), I bought these banjo straps that are perfect for fitting to a tuba:

It's not going to be perfect for every tuba (it doesn't work for all mine even).

There are a lot of different types of guitar strap, many more than for tuba.

One problem I found is that many guitar straps don't go short enough.

Anyway - might be handy for someone.

Been doing this for years; works great.

If your tuba has the little rings or ovals thingys to connect a strap, the strap from a gym bag or duffel bag also work well and click right on.
