I find the Ergobone a bit cumbersome. Is there something like a list that, for example, sits on the chair with a simpler connection at the receiver?

The support in the video is NOT what you get. This apparently was first designed but too expensive to market.
The support in the two photos is what is sold.

Thanks. It looks like the Spine Saver as shown in the photos is what I had in mind.

When I had some left shoulder impingement flaring up, the ergobone was the only way I could play.
Shortly after that though I ran into some chops problems that could be related. Who knows? There was another factor at the same time.
A bass trombone player in a local group has a sturdy stand with a cushion on top, where he rests his left elbow. He has it dialed in to the right height, and there's no awkwardness getting in and out of grips etc. Might give that one a try.

^^^ Been there, done that.
Takes all the trombone weight off of the shoulder.
Works really well.
Regular trombone stand with the cone/spring on the top replaced with a small padded table for the elbow to rest on. Small DIY project........never seen one commercially made.
