Confusion on Big Items (wearing vs holding)

I apologize if this has already been discussed...I really did try the search function on 'Big Items' but did not find it....

Anyway, during our last game play I was a Dwarf (can carry any amount of big items). In my initial setup phase I played the Tuba (Big item, 2 hands?), and later on in the game I gained through a treasure, the Mithirl Armor (big item).

We had a spirited discussion if I could use both at the same time. Armor, while *big* doesn't have a *hands* lore on it, and I assume I could wear it without encumbering my hands, thus allowing me to still wield the Tuba.

We were all torn on it, referring to somewhere in the rules that a character can only hold one Big (2 handed) item.

So what is the consensus or ruling on this?
