Check out the following video. I tried one at the IDRS Conference last June and I was amazed. If I were still playing I would buy one in a heartbeat!

(and I have no economic interest whatsoever. It's just a great idea.)


Here's the link to the video presentation of the W.R.I.S.T. instrument support. You'll notice that it's being plugged by Grover Schiltz, the great long time EH soloist in the Chicago Symphony...

For what it's worth, my experience with the neck strap was that it transferred the weight to my neck and bound me to the instrument in a way that inhibited freedom of movement. And a peg anchored me to the floor. This gadget gives you freedom of motion while supporting the weight of the instrument.

My 2 cents worth...
