Okay, here's the story and the basic plan:
I was stting in symphony band the other week when I got mighty parched. I quinched my thrist simply with a drink from my bottle but, this is where I get the inspiration, after I took a drink, the director wanted me to play. So as I was fumbling around with the cap I finally got it closed and thought 'screw it' and chucked the bottle to the ground. Then I thought 'hey! what if I were to make a device to hold my water and attach it to the tuba!' So what do you guys think? I picture a kind of drink holder that straps onto the tuba with velcro straps (about 8 inches above the bottom boe). then you could have a straw so you dont have to remove the bottle from it's holder. I know it sounds kinda like those drink holder hats but oh well. i sure could use this in rehersal/practice.
Does something like this exist? Do you think you could use one? Feedback please.
Thanks in advance,
