ERGObrass Trombone Support – Full Set

DescriptionPlay Smarter, Not HarderThe ERGObrass “ERGObone” Trombone Support System is a simple yet revolutionary tool designed to take the weight off your body and help you play with greater ease and endurance. The Full Set is a professional-grade trombone support system that helps eliminate unnecessary strain on your body during playing. Whether you sit or stand, this ergonomic solution helps you maintain a more natural posture, giving you greater freedom to focus on your sound and technique.For a more compact solution, check out the Basic Set, which is designed specifically for seated playing only.A Weighty Problem, A Lightweight SolutionTrombones typically weigh between 1.3 and 2.8 kilograms. Combine that with the weight of your own arm and the extended playing posture, and you’re asking your body to stay under constant tension for long periods. The result? Strained muscles, poor posture, and a compromised sound.The ERGObrass Trombone Support Basic Set supports the instrument using a spring-loaded rod and base tube that rests between your legs, transferring the weight away from your arms and shoulders. The horn becomes almost weightless, floating in place, while you maintain full freedom of movement and sound production.Comfort and Flexibility in One SystemUnlike the Basic Set, which is designed only for seated playing, the Full Set includes an adjustable harness that allows for movement and comfort while standing. You can easily switch between seated and standing positions, making it ideal for rehearsals, performances, or classroom teaching.The spring mechanism in the support rod provides responsive flexibility while maintaining control. The trombone appears to float, allowing smooth transitions, consistent bell positioning, and a more relaxed body overall. Better Posture, Better BreathingWith the weight off your arms, your upper body can stay relaxed and upright. This improves airflow, breath support, and overall comfort. You’ll find it easier to play for longer and focus more on technique and musicality rather than on simply holding up your horn.A Game-Changer for Young PlayersFor younger trombonists, maintaining posture is one of the hardest challenges. As their arms fatigue, their back and shoulders collapse and the bell starts to point down. With the ERGObone, even small players can hold a full-size trombone comfortably, keeping their posture tall and their breathing efficient. It’s a great tool for teachers wanting to instil healthy playing habits early on and for students wanting to practise longer without discomfort.What’s Included:Black clamp with padded interior to protect your instrumentSupport rod with adjustable spring for free-floating responseLightweight aluminium support tube with rubber band for seated useChest plate with secure attachmentAdjustable harness with leather-padded shoulder strapsSuitable for both tenor and bass tromboneSwitch between seated and standing configurations as needed A Short Adjustment, A Long-Term GainThere is a small learning curve as you adjust to playing with the ERGObone, but it becomes second nature quickly. After this brief transition, most players report greater ease and significantly reduced tension. Many even notice an improvement in sound, thanks to better posture and consistent bell positioning. Improve Your Playing ExperienceTrombone design hasn’t changed much over the centuries, but our understanding of player health has. The ERGObone offers a forward-thinking solution for modern musicians, allowing for longer practice, fewer injuries, and more enjoyable playing.
