Abstract
A body-supportable musical-instrument carrier, comprises a rigid frame substantially conforming to shoulder and upper back regions of a user; a belly plate; first mounting members mountable on the belly plate for securing the belly plate to the rigid frame; and second mounting members mountable on the belly plate for securing the musical instrument to the body-supportable musical-instrument carrier. The second mounting members are a pair of J-rods having a first end portion mounted to the belly plate and a second end portion defined by a compound bend. In other words, the first ends of each J-rod lies in a different plane than the plane of the second ends. Additionally, the J-rods have a broader contact area against the drum for better stability compared to traditional support rods.
