The general idea of ERGObrass supports is based on a simple fact that all brass instruments are heavy to hold. We all know that relaxation is very important in brass playing. However, holding the instrument in playing position inevitably produces a static tenson in hands, arms, shoulders, upper body and throat.
Most players can play with this tension, of course - but the tension is always there disturbing the performance.
By using an ERGObrass support every brass player can stay totally relaxed while playing. And in addition to the better efficency, it is also very comfortable!
The ERGObrass might seem to require a very radical change in the way an euphonium, baritone horn, tenor horn and alto horn are played and therefore it is especially important that you read and look at these pages with an open mind without any prejudice. After all the needed changes are only very slight. Leave your initial emotional reactions aside as they often prevent us from seeing things clearly when confronted with something that is very different to what we are used to. Instead, ask yourself if what we are about to show you seems sensible and logical.
We firmly believe that playing the euphonium with the help of the ERGObrass gives a player benefits that are well worth the effort of learning a few new habits. We have a money back guarantee although we are proud to admit that fewer than 2% of ERGObrass supports we send to players around the world are returned.
