My Christmas Eve gig involves lots of playing inside while seated.  But, there will be some playing outside the church as worshipers arrive.  My tuba (MW 2145) weighs a ton and does not have brackets for straps.  Have any of you been faced with this problem?  I'm a strong man, but I don't relish holding that horn up while we run through ten carols.  Any ideas?
