ABSTRACT:
A support apparatus (10) for supporting the weight of a musical instrument such as a saxophone (S) on the back and hips of a musician (M) is provided. A clip (12) engages a rear portion of a musician's belt (B) or pants (P). A pair of substantially rigid members (30a,30b) extend from the clip (12) and contact the musician's back (MB). The substantially rigid members (30a,30b) each include a curved portion (34a,34b), opposite the clip (12), that extends over and at least partially around the shoulders (S1,S2) of a musician (M). The distal end (36a,36b) of each member (30a,30b) lies adjacent a front portion (FP) of the musician (M). A strap assembly (50) is connected to the distal ends (36a,36b) of the substantially rigid members (30a,30b). A musical instrument clip (56) is connected to the strap assembly (50) and releasably attaches an instrument such as a saxophone (S) to the apparatus (10).
