Pirastro KorfkerRest Model 2 Viola Shoulder Rest

The Pirastro KorfkerRest® Model 2 for Viola redefines what a shoulder rest can be. Handcrafted from tone-grade maple—the same wood used in fine instruments—this innovative rest is designed to enhance your viola’s natural resonance rather than dampen it.

Weighing only around 40 grams, it’s the lightest professional viola shoulder rest on the market. The unique flexible maple frame allows you to shape and adjust the curvature precisely to your shoulder and instrument, creating a truly customized fit that promotes relaxed posture and freedom of movement.

• Ultra-lightweight maple construction – crafted from tonewood for unmatched resonance and comfort.
• Fully adjustable curvature and height – shape the frame and reposition the legs to fit your body perfectly.
