The PAD-IT TUBA HARNESS
™
is the ideal
accessory for tuba players who wish to stand
or march while playing. It features comfortable
shoulder pads with high-tech memory foam that
conforms to your shoulders for the best weight
distribution of the instrument. The memory foam
is designed to wick moisture away from the skin
to keep you cooler and more comfortable during
longer playing sessions.
There are several attachment options to
accommodate tubas with a variety of strap ring
congurations. The PAD-IT TUBA HARNESS
™
is fully adjustable to t most any body type and
tuba.
With Neotech's PAD-IT TUBA HARNESS
™
, you'll
be free to concentrate on making great music
instead of holding onto your tuba! It's sure to
become the "must-have" accessory in your kit.
Step 7
Option 1.
If the instrument has a large
enough connector ring at
the bottom, you may simply
clip the two swivel hook
connectors directly to it.
Step 9
For added stability, attach
the upper strap to the
instrument's top strap ring.
Depending on the
instrument's ring position
and your preferred playing
position, this strap may need
to be moved to the opposite
side of the harness. In this
case, simply unthread the
strap and rethread it on the
opposite side.
Step 8
Adjust the length of the straps
using the same method as
described in step 4.
Removing the harness
It is possible to remove the harness from your body yet leave it
attached to your instrument. Simply unfasten the two side quick
disconnects and the harness can be taken off over your head.
