Wind Instrument Supports

Company history…

Trombone Support

“When the ErgoBrass supports were first introduced they looked rather awkward to me, and I wondered why anyone would want to use such devices.

However, after having used the euphonium support for nearly two years and the trombone support for about a year, I am now very much a fan.”

Trombone Support

“ERGObone has changed my approach to the trombone. I feel relaxed and in control of the instrument, with improved sound, projection and phrasing. ERGObone prevents tension from limiting your musical ability and I recommend it to all trombonists.”

Principal Trombone, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra United Kingdom

Trombone Support

“Although I am still in a testing period with the ERGObone I definitely see the benefit of the system. It takes away every tension in your left shoulder, arm and hand and this makes you breathe more freely and has good influence on the embouchure setting, something you start to realize when you take away the system and play without it.

I am not sure I will use the system all the time, but I am sure I will use it when I make long hours of study, specially on my contrabass trombone.”

Trombone Support

“I think the ERGObone is a great idea! It allows me to play with less tension in my shoulder and hand. I have only been using it a short while now, but it seems to free up respiration as well.”

Robert Sanders

Bass Trombonist, Pacific Symphony Orchestra and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, Professor of Trombone, California State University USA

French Horn Support

“With this system a child of any age can play a horn without any physical problems. Not just for the sake of using air, but also to maintain good posture without any tension. I am not saying this just as a spectator but as a father of two “fantastic” hornists, age 7 and 9 years.

With the ERGObrass support they never have any tension, and they never get tired in any part of the body, except in the lips, of course! Without any doubt the ERGObrass support should be an indispensable tool for every young hornist and also for every horn professor.”

Javier Bonet

International horn artist Professor of horn Madrid, Spain

Trumpet Support

“I have tested it by my self and found it very helpful. I have been practicing Alexander Technique for 20 years now and I am very aware of the problem of tension in the body while playing. I found, that your system helps for being more relaxed especially in the region of the shoulders and the neck, which are very crucial. I also let students play for a short time in the lesson with ERGObrass. Most of them also found it helpful. Congratulations! Your system is as simple as it is efficient.”

Professor of trumpet, Trossingen music high school Germany

Trumpet Support

“I Have tried the ERGObrass for trumpet now for about one month and I feel I can write a very positive recommndation. The ERGObrass works in developing posture, breathing an maintaining relaxation in playing. The ERGObras is certainly durable, and the options for use, as well as availability for other brass instruments, are wonderful.”

Michael Tunnel

Professor of trumpet, University of Louisville USA

Euphonium Support

“I noticed a difference in my playing as soon as I began using the ERGObrass while playing my euphonium. The tension level in my arms, shoulders, and back decreased considerably. I now recommend the ERGObrass to all my students. The system encourages me to have perfect posture every time I pick up the instrument. The design of the components and the quality of craftsmanship are superb. I am addicted to my ERGObrass!”

Dr. Kelly Thomas

Tuba/Euphonium Director University of Arizona Pep Band USA

Clarinet Support

“The ERGOclar support is quite easy and comfortable to use. I have used it also in the orchestra work. It allows you to move quite freely, so it does not feel restrictive.

The ERGOclar is great for children as it relief them from the pain in the right hand and thumb. It also helps the embouchure because it supports the instrument from below and therefore the mouthpiece is easier to keep toward upper teeth.”

Reetta Näätänen

Clarinet Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, Finland

Oboe Support

“This is an excellent system, it takes the weight off from hands and fingers. This is important for the shoulders and neck area. So far I have not had any bad problems from the weight but this is a good way to prevent them to happen.

This makes playing much freer than with other supports like the neck strap. This gives more room for movements.”

Laura Kemppainen

Oboist Finnish National Opera Orchestra Finland

Bassoon Support

“I already own and use the Basic Set, and I’m completely convinced of that item, absolutely enthusiastic! It is very comfortable to play with that, free feeling and full possibility to move in every direction. Nearly no weight on your hands or your body. I can absolutely recommend the ERGObassoon to every Player!! Also ordered the upgrade set. “

Holger Zabel

Bassoonist Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie e. V., Herford, Germany

Bassoon Support

“It is an amazing product. I perform with a reed quintet (Atlantic Reed Consort). It is always been a struggle to stand and play.

It is an amazing improvement!”
