The last 20J I played was the magnificent satin silver one that Lee Stofer had in his booth at the Army conference. Better in all ways than mine, actually. But I sat there and played it in a chair without too much problem resting it between my legs, though I normally use a stand for playing any contrabass longer than a few minutes.
But, of course, by "lap tuba" I meant to distinguish it from a sousaphone, which most folks don't think looks right in a band, even if they wish their lap tuba sounded as good as a decent sousaphone.
