I have seen them used at Tuba Christmas events, and one local HS has them. Would someone please tell me how they are made? What types of materials (stretchy, any old fabric)should be used? How are they attached to the horn (elastic, draw string)? How are the large letters attached, and where do you find a template to make the large letters? Do the covers have an adverse effect on the sound from the horn (muffeling)?

Thanks in advance for everyone's help on this. Our band is playing rented & borrowed mis-matched inner bell color horns, and I thought the covers might add a touch of consistancy.
