Make a pattern by wrapping strips of paper around contact areas and taping them all together. Cut neat horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the area. Cut the piecemeal pattern off of the tuba with a straight, clean, vertical cut. Trace this pattern on to the naugahyde (not leather!) of your favorite color choice. Add an extra inch of naugahyde to the vertical cut line to allow for an overlap. Sew velcro appropriately (inner / outer) to fasten it to the instrument.

Repeat the process in any area of the instrument that you wish to protect from your skin.
