3.0 out of 5 stars Handy Tuba Rest, October 9, 2010

It's sturdy and the height is adjustable. The problem is that the soft foam rubber pad upon which the base of the Tuba rests is not well glued to its cradle. This measn that care has to be taken to ensure that the Tuba remains properly supported. Also the foam is in danger of getting lost in transit.

This rest does it's job. The foam starts to fall off after a few weeks. I had to add a cover to the stand to prevent the tuba from getting stretched. It is cheaper then the other tuba rests out there, so you get what you paid for. This one was the right price and portable to and from my sons lessons.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too weak for me, December 7, 2008

This review is from: DEG A18-MC100 Handy Tuba Rest

This couldn't hold up my 5/4 PT6, not to mention when I have my mute in. Even with some modifications, it is far from ideal, and it's possible to start to strip the knob that provides the tension to hold the rod supporting the tuba. Some people have modified this successfully using drills, but that's too much trouble for me.

Maybe someone can use this with a lighter instrument, but I can't use it.
