ABSTRACT:
In a shoulder support for violin or other stringed instrument an inelastic filament loop passes through a pair of longitudinal channels in a foam pad and is looped through an elastic band, The filament loop is fitted over the end button on the instrument and the elastic band may be fitted over the lower bout corner on the bass-bar side of the instrument. When so placed the filament loop will press the pad against the back of the instrument and the portions of the filament within the longitudinal channels of the foam pad will be forced toward one another thereby compressing a portion of the foam pad between the longitudinal channels. Consequently, the pad will be held in place during normal use of the instruments.
