My apologies that this is not tuba related but.... I could really use some help and I know that there are many creative people within our community.

I teach high school band and one of my students was involved in a farming accident that left him without the use of an arm. He came back to school this week and has been very upset that he cannot physically play his horn anymore. He desperately wants to participate in band. Does anyone know of any kind of device that would hold his horn for him while he operates the slide with his free hand? Perhaps a shoulder harness of some sort?

Any advice or contacts would help- he is a great kid and loves to play, I'd like to find a way for that to happen.

Thanks much,

Russell
