Tuba and Euphonium Lap PAD (Small - Side Balance Lap-Pad)

This euphonium pad is the perfect size. I use it with all the pads in just the way it came (tall male player), but some pads can be removed to make it smaller. It is the right amount of stickiness to hold the instrument but allow me to move as I need to. It is also small enough to fit into my music bag, but not into the case. It also is too large to fit into the bell for storage. I tried a few other solutions including the ergo brass, but for me this one is cheap and effective. Try it!…. you will not be disappointed *** Update -- been using for six months. Still LOVE IT. Nice and firm and the perfect size for me ***

I love this item! It's the perfect height for me to put my euphonium on when I'm playing without taking out any of the foam, I kept it as is out of the box. It's great, love the non slip fabric, great size, feels like it's made well. Really happy with my purchase. It's a lot better than my headphone case stuffed with towels because the surface is more even. With the towels it was an uneven surface which I didn't like.

This item works perfect for my son while playing his euphonium. It boosts his instrument up a bit to help with his posture. It also looks nice, especially for concert performances.Inside are several foam inserts of varying thickness so they can be taken out to adjust for height.The pad retains it’s shape even when in his backpack and can take it well. However, it does not compress well to fit in the instrument case which I certainly wish it did. This ups the chance of it getting lost.Overall, it is very pricey for what it is. In hindsight, I would have made him one that’s not only cheaper but that will be supportive and compress to fit in his euphonium instrument case.

First off let me say that the order arrived very quickly! Secondly, it’s very close to exactly as described. Please don’t misunderstand, the only visual difference would be the graduated removable "inner" pads that can be used to customize each pad.In my honest opinion the product description doesn’t do this product justice.For beginners, the outer sewn sheath/fabric that contains the removable pads! This is a well thought out material. I find that it provides "traction" "grip" to your pants and to the horn itself. Thereby creating confidence that your Euphonium is secure from slipping away from you during practice or performance.The fabric pouch of which I speak seems to be very well sewn! Thick stitching that looks to be done by an industrial grade machine.As for the price, I very much respectfully disagree with a fellow reviewer! It is priced very appropriately for what you’re getting. There is NO WAY you could "source’ the material, sew the stitching as well and make it under 3 hours for the asking price. And that length of given time is being very generous.My personal time and what I would make in the 2-3 hour time in $$$ would be able to justify at least the asking price which I believe to be a bargain. I will be suggesting this item to all my students and professional musician friends.Give it a try a you will agree.

Euphonium players have struggled for years to take the strain off the left arm while keeping the instrument at a proper height when sitting while playing. This lap pad has made my life so much easier! It is a remarkable improvement over the solutions many of us have tried (pegs, pillows, etc.). It supports the weight of the instruments, which our previous solutions did. But this is much more practical for actual use in various situations. The top surface is non-slip to the euphonium won't slide around unexpectedly as you play. The bottom is almost like a suede material, and stays put even on my slippery micro-fiber slacks. It is adjustable for height because the padding is in layers and can be removed. (I actually added an addition piece of thin foam inside mine because I need a lot of height.) And it's great when you need to stand quickly for bows - you can plop it on your music stand and it perches nicely there (my previous rolled-up towel solution would invariably fall off the stand). I've used mine for several years with no signs of wear. However, I depend on it so much that I just bought a new one to keep around in case I lose the one I'm using! Highly recommended.

Keeps instrument from sliding on my lap.

Works well for my euphonium and tuba. Quality is strong with a year in of use. My only complaint? Price is very high in my opinion for a glorified pillow. Have not tried the more affordable version but might try it when this eventually wears out. If you don’t play everyday this will last a long time. I’d still recommend it to my students.

I've been using homemade pads for both my lap and my foot for my Euphonium. I bought 2 of these to replace my one ones. They are fantastic. Durable and adjustable. have only used them a dozen or so times. Another player in my section has been using one for years and turned me on to this product. It's my understanding that the guy the made these as died, so don't know if anyone will continue making them.
