ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for supporting an instrument, particularly support that places as much as possible of the instrument weight onto the instrument user's lower body (i.e., waist/hips/thighs and lower). A patch of a releasably adhering fabric is attached to the back of the instrument. The patch attachment is preferably temporary (removable) but if permanent, then preferably the permanent attachment is made to a removable and replaceable component of the instrument. A hanger that is removably attachable to the user's waist/hips/thighs is at least partially covered by a releasably adhering fabric that will mate with (releasably adhere to) the fabric of the patch on the instrument. Rigid forms of the hanger can be used to reduce twisting of the instrument in the vertical plane, and can also be used to provide support wherein the patch-to-hanger releasable adherence location is positioned above the location of the removable attachment to the user.
