Friends,
I need a harness so that I can play my tuba (Wessex York) standing. There are no hooks or rings on the tuba (like Miraofone or Alexander). I COULD use a standing stand, but I'd rather not schlep that thing around with me. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Re: Tuba Harness Needed
I am IN LOVE with the neotech harness
You might have to relocate some strap rings to make it perfect, but it's worth it

The regular neotech harness can wrap around the bottom bow

I used one for walking gigs before I got my sousaphone. Pretty comfortable but I was using a light tuba.
They also make a Holster harness, but I've never seen one in person

I have used the 18” holster with my Martin Mammoth 6/4. It was stable and pretty comfortable, even for a 2 hour gig.gocsick wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 9:43 am They also make a Holster harness, but I've never seen one in person

Re: Tuba Harness Needed
Because there are no rings, you can use the Rudolf Schwarz system
in combination with

I am not using one of those, but very interested if somebody can share her or his experience with this system.

Re: Tuba Harness Needed
I have one of the 'holster' harnesses that I'd trade someone for the 'regular'. It works fine, but isn't my cup of tea.
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

Re: Tuba Harness Needed
@tclements, I have a “Blue Note” padded strap with the adjustable straps and clips from about 1994 in great shape. If you remember that setup and/or want me to snap some photos, let me know. I’d be willing to part ways with it.
