Detail 01
Lap rest, not a floor stand
It rides on your legs and moves with you, so playing position stays adjustable mid-piece.

DEGA18-MC100 Handy Tuba Rest
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A lap-mounted rest that carries the tuba's weight while you play seated. For tuba players who rehearse or perform sitting down.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Seated concert band and orchestra players holding a heavy BBb tuba
- Long rehearsals where arm and back fatigue sets in
- Younger students still growing into a full-size horn
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Marching players — this is a seated-only support
- Sousaphone players, whose horn already rides on the shoulder
- Anyone wanting a floor stand for storing the instrument
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Height-adjustable design
Sets mouthpiece height to your torso, so you stop hunching down to meet the horn.
Detail 03
Takes the horn's weight off your arms
Left hand is freed for valves and grip rather than holding the instrument up.
Detail 04
Under $80
Cheaper than most ergonomic fixes, and it travels in a gig bag pocket.

- 01Check the rest's height range against your chair and torso before a concert

- 03Nothing else is included; no case, strap, or floor stand
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my tuba?
It supports a seated tuba resting on the lap. Fit depends on your horn's bow shape and your seated height, so test the position before relying on it for a performance.
02Can I march with it?
No. This is a seated rest that sits on your legs. Marching requires a carrier or a sousaphone.
03Does it hold the tuba when I'm not playing?
It supports the horn while you're seated behind it. For storage or setting the instrument down, you want a separate floor stand.
04Is it adjustable for a student?
Yes — height adjusts, which is the main reason younger players use one on a full-size horn.
