The other day I was told by a band director (Joe Windsor from Bonneville High School) that I play with in a local city band that setting your tuba on the bell can is bad for the tuba. I have heard something about this before but I didn't know if it was true or not so I ask you. Is it bad to set your tuba on the bell when not being played and if so then what damage does it cause?
