There is a harness available (for marching) that takes the ball into a socket, transferring the weight of the horn mostly onto the hips. This allows the player to breathe more normally, and decreases the fatigue factor, not to mention saving the back. Of course, the horn must still be held upright by the player, but the bulk of the weight is on the harness.

Joe Baker, who would like to try that setup sometime.
