What is it?
A shoulder rest is placed between the violin and the shoulder of the player (not to be confused with the chin rest which is usually permanently attached to the top of the violin). The shoulder rest is removed from the instrument when the instrument is put in its case.
Reasons for using a shoulder rest
The main reason for using a shoulder rest is to support the violin in a position that aids playing and good technique. It should allow the instrument to be supported between the chin and shoulder of the player enabling the players left hand to be as free as possible to move up and down the fingerboard. It also makes for greater comfort because it keeps the violin off the collar bone.
Choosing a shoulder rest
It is important that the shoulder rest is held on the violin securely without damaging the violin. When selecting a shoulder rest, every player has different physical attributes and will likely prefer a particular shape/design of rest. The length of the players neck is particularly important to consider when choosing a shoulder rest.
