ERGObrass Trombone Support – Basic Set

Description

Play Smarter, Not Harder

The 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. If you’ve ever felt fatigue or tension in your arms, shoulders, or back during long practice sessions, the ERGObone could be the most important accessory you add to your setup.

For a more extensive solution, check out the Full Set, which allows for both seated playing and playing while standing up.

A Weighty Problem, A Lightweight Solution

Trombones 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.

Better Posture, Better Breathing

With 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.

Designed for Seated Playing

This Basic Set is made specifically for playing while seated. It includes a lightweight aluminium support tube that rests on the chair and a spring-loaded rod that connects to your trombone via a custom clamp. Once adjusted to your preferred height and angle, the ERGObone allows you to play with minimal effort.

A Game-Changer for Young Players

For 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:

• Instrument clamp (with internal padding)
• Height-adjustable support rod with spring mechanism
• Black aluminium chair tube with rubber base and band

A Short Adjustment, A Long-Term Gain

There 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 Experience

Trombone 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.
