Product Review: BrassSupport for Flugelhorns
The BrassSupport for Flugelhorns presents a simple yet highly effective solution to a long-standing challenge faced by brass musicians—physical strain from holding heavy instruments during extended practice or performance sessions.
- Designed for quick and secure attachment—typically to a piston casing or alternatively to one of the instrument’s tubing components, please refer to enclosed Trumpet video—this support stand significantly reduces the burden on the musician’s neck, shoulders, and back. Its ease of installation and versatility make it a practical choice for a wide range of players.
What sets the BrassSupport apart is its accessibility-focused design. It enables one-handed play, offering immediate ergonomic relief—particularly valuable for children, students, and players with disabilities, who are more susceptible to overuse injuries and postural fatigue. Given that some brass instruments weigh close to one kilogram, the support stand’s ability to transfer this load away from the upper body is a game-changer.
Musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the neck and back, is a well-documented issue among brass players. The BrassSupport addresses this problem head-on, promoting healthier playing posture and allowing musicians to focus on their performance, not their discomfort.
In summary, the BrassSupport for Flugelhorns is a smart, user-friendly, and health-conscious tool that enhances the playing experience for musicians of all ages and abilities. It’s a highly recommended addition for anyone seeking a practical, affordable solution to reduce physical strain without compromising their craft.
