A short length of surgical tubing would work great for the back of this. You would have to put it on the wire before making the bends. I think the high level of friction with the rubber tubing would help keep it stable while playing. Some people might have a broken slingshot lying around with just the right amount of tubing :)

Dude thanks heaps for this instructable. This is such a good idea. so simple and it incorporates recycling which is great. I looked at getting a holder from a music shop but they are expensive this is so much better thankyou again can't wait to make one and try it out Peace Jakeone

This is great and simple! I don't have any reason to make one, but I think that this will probably inspire a lot of people to make their own! Great job!
