Product Information
The Pirastro Korfker Shoulder Rest is the world’s first adjustable rest made from tonewood, designed to maximise both comfort and tonal freedom. Weighing just 32 g for violin or 40 g for viola, it is the lightest professional shoulder rest available and has been meticulously developed to preserve resonance and enhance projection.
The innovative bendable maple frame allows the rest to be contoured to your shoulder for a natural and secure fit, while the adjustable feet provide flexibility in height, angle, and position. This creates a uniquely tailored setup that promotes relaxed playing and long-lasting comfort.
Minimal use of rubber and metal ensures excellent sound transmission, allowing the instrument to resonate more freely than with conventional rests. The result is a noticeable improvement in tonal clarity, openness, and responsiveness.
The Pirastro Korfker rest is ideal for advanced students, professionals, and any player seeking a lightweight, stable, and acoustically sensitive solution that feels like an extension of the instrument itself.
The PIRASTRO KorfkerCradle® comes with the shoulder rest in-built as shown, the PIRASTRO KorfkerRest® are also available separately.
