Why not just buy it direct from Euroland? They do ship internationally.
Your credit card may take a conversion fee hit, but usually it is not too bad these days.

I don't know this model of harness. I do have a more simple one and I like being ably to put my instrument in what is basically a sort of portable lap. Good luck

I'll be carrying a Conn 36J , 6/4 , BBb which tips the scales at about 32 pounds. I'm playing in a funeral parade which takes awhile to complete.

Re: Tuba harness for marching
Does your tuba have strap rings? You might be able to do a lot better, with some climbing webbing and a couple slides and buckles.

Yes it does, I'm going to modify a Milwaukee padded tool belt with padded shoulder straps. About 50 to 60 bucks. Some webbing and snap hooks it should work

Cool! Get someone to take a couple pictures if you can.bigroo wrote:Yes it does, I'm going to modify a Milwaukee padded tool belt with padded shoulder straps. About 50 to 60 bucks. Some webbing and snap hooks it should work
I can carry my bell front Holton from just a sling between the two straps - never tried anything more than walking around the house a little, but it isn't all that terrible, and I wouldn't be surprised if you're bigger than me. The weight is more manageable with the bell rotated to the right. It isn't terribly unusual for a good accordion to weigh that much - so you can get nice padded straps for them, and some people swear by an extra strap that connects them in the back.

Yes a sousaphone would be handy our community band has one but it may be spoken for.tuben wrote:Godalmighty....
