“Never fight gravity when you play.” Acclaimed violinist Cyrus Forough said this – then spent years developing this shoulder rest. Made of padauk, an African heartwood with exceptional stability and resilience. Padauk is stronger than oak, and also favored by experts for use in musical instruments.

This patented shoulder rest for violins is completely customizable in height (11mm to 25mm) and thickness (2mm to 5mm). It releases tension, unifies both player and instrument, and makes your playing comfortable and natural.

Franz Hoffmann Prelude Cello

Hand-carved of aged flamed maple and clear, straight-grained spruce, the Prelude is as much a delight to look at as it is to play. The delicately-shaded golden-brown varnish is spirit-based and hand-applied, allowing the Prelude to vibrate freely and the sound to blossom. Careful attention to the ebony fingerboard allows your young student to advance quickly, without fighting poor setup. Smoothly functioning ebony pegs, perfectly-fitted bridge and post. Made in China with final test playing and adjustment in our Ann Arbor workshop to ensure that the Prelude will perform perfectly, with no wolf tones. Available in 4/4, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/10

For years string teachers have told us that fiberglass bows are a durable and practical choice for active young students and their budget-conscious parents. But because they lack the finesse and handling properties of wood or carbon fiber bows, teaching bowing techniques can be difficult. We listened to our colleagues and set out to find a solution. The result is the Shar FUSION student bow. Utilizing carbon fiber construction, the Shar FUSION is strong and priced right. But best of all, the Shar FUSION performs like much more expensive wood or carbon fiber bow. Try one today!

When considering a new bow for their student, teachers and parents alike have expressed their desire for a well-constructed bow that doesn't compromise its playability and responsiveness. I'm happy to say this bow is an excellent option for customers looking for a durable and practical bow, without inhibiting a young player's sound and technique development. Immediately after trying this bow for the first time, I noticed how easily the violin responded to it.

Canadian rock group Article One, combines pop-rock accessibility with the hard-driving virtuosity and honesty of an indie band. Here's what Article One's world-class rock violinist, Matt Piche', has to say about the Shar Fusion bows that he uses in his performances:

The Shar Fusion allows me to express all the passion and intensity that Article One's music demands, without wilting or breaking. Sometimes our shows get a little crazy - the rugged Fusion bow stands up to abuse better than any wood bow, yet it plays like a good wood bow. It's ideal for demanding music-making.

Do you need a new bow? Most players, regardless of skill level, eventually come to the realization that a new bow would be beneficial to their technical and musical development. If your current bow feels like it slips and skates on the surface of the string if you have a hard time producing more than just a few tone colors if your off-the-string bowings are noisy and hard to control, then you should consider trying different bows.

The Ergonomic Edge to Playing!

Using only the highest quality of materials, each Performa features a wider surface area to distribute the instrument’s weight and player’s pressure evenly on the shoulder just as when one plays without a shoulder rest. Its patented design provides comfort never before experienced, resulting in a miraculous relief from tension and pain.

The Performa Shoulder Rest is completely customizable. It includes three feet that are different heights to be adjusted to the desired height. One is 11mm in length, one is 17mm, and one is 25mm. When when the two shorter feet are at their lowest settings, Performa becomes the lowest shoulder rest - as if one is playing without one. The tall 25mm foot is for those who require an even higher elevation on one or both sides. All three are available for purchase separately. The soft foam pad that comes on the shoulder rest is 5mm in thickness. (Pads are reusable)

The remaining challenge to completing the task lay in the development of perfect feet for the Performa. The design, material selection, and gripping integrity were critical requirements. The inventors would seek out a soft rubber compound that would not damage the varnish, provide a strong grip so as to stay in place and provide minimal contact so that there be no muffling of the sound.

The Performa is an exciting choice for any player, and most especially one who currently does not use a shoulder rest but would like to. Playing will feel more organic while the head, neck, arms, and hands find restrictions and discomfort eliminated. The Performa Shoulder Rest allows viola playing to feel more organic. Performa allows the head, neck, arms, and hands to function without restrictions and discomfort when placed properly on the instrument.

The Performa Shoulder Rest for viola is available in two sizes: Standard Bout and Wide Bout. The standard bout size is designed for 15-16.5 violas. The wide bout size is designed for 15.5-17 violas.

The Shoulder Rest That Won't Fall Off!

Made in Europe, these new flexible shoulder rests enable the young violinist to start off right. Elegant and contemporary design, and with the benefits of the top-of-the-line Viva Diamond shoulder rest, at a much lower price! The feet, utilizing the Viva Diamond's patented Lateral Adjustment Clamping System, are made from strong and flexible tool steel, absorbing stress instead of transferring it to the instrument, and channeling stress away from the instrument itself; and they stay put, even during vigorous playing, when other shoulder rests often fall off.

The ergonomics of the Viva Flex start with an extremely sturdy plastic body in an S-shape, with dual-plane flexibility. This allows weight to be evenly distributed across the collarbone; this design significantly reduces fatigue, especially under grueling practice or performance conditions.

Your Viva Flex is collapsible: Fold the feet after you're done playing, for easy storage in your case. And your Viva la Musica remembers your settings -- when you unfold the feet and place your Viva la Musica on your violin, you will not need to adjust it again.

Available in four sizes: 4/4-3/4, 1/2-1/4, 1/4-1/8, 1/16-1/32, and your choice of four translucent colors: Red, Blue, Brown, or Purple:
