ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a standing instrument support assembly having selectively adjustable elements which substantially reduce the amount of force a musician must exert to support and balance the instrument while playing. The support assembly generally has three basic, interlocking elements which are: 1) an elongated, rigid crossbar having a clamp integrally extending from one end thereof; 2) an elongated endpin holder which pivotally and slidably connects within a longitudinally extending slot formed in the crossbar via a laterally extending screw; and 3) an elongated, rigid endpin which telescopically and slidably engages within a longitudinally extending bore in the end of the endpin holder opposite the end which engages the crossbar. The three elements may be positioned such that the endpin engages the floor at the position which is coincident with the line of action caused by the weight vector) which thereby substantially eliminates the tilting moment caused by the weight of the instrument.
