Performa Padauk Wood Violin Shoulder Rest in 4/4 Size
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 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 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.
