Instruments in cases tend not to get practiced. I find that taking the instrument out of the case is the hardest step in practicing.

I use the guitar hanger shown in the picture.
Boy, I sure can't figure out how you use a guitar hanger to hang a tuba. :?

Now, the guitars go in the cases, DEFINITELY NOT on the wall.

The keepers are rubber then?

Love to see a picture with a tuba hanging from it.

I gotta admit...this one beats the hell out of me! I can't imagine any safe way to use these on tubas. For that matter, I seriously question the advisability of hanging guitars and basses on them...the weight of the instrument would work against the tension of the truss rod. Better to put guitars on floor stands.

Any more tuba storage suggestions?
