I was wondering if anyone had any old tubes for tone bars they had purchased or where I could find some. I just need something to protect my tone bar/slides and I have a few that didn't come with them. Let me know! :)I'm willing to buy them if you are reasonable! :)

The M&Ms candy tubes work really well. Just check all your local stores, someone probably has them.

I had one of those M&M tubes Bill mentions, and have been using it for many years. My wife thought it was a very ingenious use for it. Last Christmas she found a bag of them (12) at the grocery and bought them for me. (I love M&Ms anyway). I told her "Gee, honey, I don't need that many!". She said "Well, now you'll have extras, just like everything else you buy!". She got me there. :oops: :lol:

Machine shop milling cutters and Clipper air cylinders are packaged in those little tubes also. There are even square ones that are pretty convenient.

If you have a boat dealership nearby you might check with them for a watertight tube that is to keep papers in on a boat. They are perfect for protecting a bar.
