A chair-borne musical instrument support that is both adjustable and portable. The musical instrument support includes a seat portion having an adjustably attached support arm with an instrument rest attached to the top thereof. The musician places the seat portion of the device on the seat of a chair, and then sits on the seat portion. The support arm and instrument rest extend upward near the front edge of the chair and between the legs of the musician. The weight of the musician sitting on the chair holds the device in place. Alternatively, the musical instrument support may be held in place on a chair by adjustable straps. The base of the tuba is then placed upon the instrument rest which is covered with a non-abrasive, non-skid surface. The support arm and instrument rest may be adjusted vertically up or down to a comfortable height. The instrument then rests in the same position as if it were being held on the musician's lap, but now it does not have to be borne by the musician's legs. The musical instrument support is not permanently attached to the chair; therefore, the support may be easily removed and carried with the musician or stored for later use. Several embodiments of the present invention are contemplated which are designed to be used by different size musicians and with different types of instruments.

Porte-instrument de musique réglable et portatif reposant sur une chaise. Le porte-instrument comprend une section de siège munie d'un bras d'appui réglable surmonté d'une pièce d'appui destinée à accueillir l'instrument. Le musicien place la section de siège sur le siège de sa chaise et s'assied sur cette section. Le bras et la pièce d'appui se prolongent vers le haut, près du bord avant de la chaise, entre les jambes du musicien. Le poids du musicien assis sur la chaise maintient le porte-instrument en place. Ce dernier peut également être ancré sur la chaise au moyen de courroies réglables. La base d'un tuba est placée sur la pièce d'appui recouverte d'une surface antidérapante non abrasive. Le bras et la pièce d'appui s'ajustent verticalement vers le haut ou vers le bas pour obtenir la hauteur désirée. L'instrument repose alors dans la même position que s'il était placé sur les genoux du musicien, sans que les jambes du musicien n'aient à en supporter le poids. Le porte-instrument n'est pas fixé de façon permanente à la chaise, de sorte que le musicien peut l'enlever et le transporter facilement ou le ranger pour usage ultérieur. Plusieurs versions de la présente invention, adaptées à des musiciens de différentes tailles et à différents instruments, sont envisagées.
