I replaced the bumpers on one of my tubas years ago with vacuum cleaner belt rubber. I always felt that it was too bouncy, but never did anything about it until recently, when I replaced all of the "at rest" bumpers with cork I got from a repairman. The belt rubber was quieter than the cork or the harder neoprene that came on the horn, but the bouncing always bugged me. I'll probably replace the rest of the rubber with cork when I get more.
