Just my 2 cents worth, but I've only seen 1 FHRED in action and I'm not disappointed they stopped production. In my opinion, many of these "ergonomic gadgets" do not correctly address the muscular-skeletal origin of our problems.

When I had bad tendonitis, what I did (with lots of success) was to tie a string to my music stand and a hook on the other end (you can use a strong paper clip if you can't find a decent hook). That hook grabs the bell by the low Bb rod, thus supporting the weight of the instrument while not impeding your own body motion.

Alternatively, on this BBoard, I saw links to a bell-spring support that ties on to the stand. I'll have to search for the link.... I keep forgetting to keep a short-cut. This is essentially the same idea as my string and hook, but perhaps even better/freer.
