ABSTRACT:
A shoulder rest for an instrument such as a violin or viola, comprising an elongated support suitable for resting on a user's shoulder, and an attachment device adjacent each end of the support for attachment to the instrument with the support spaced away from the back of the instrument. The attachment devices each include a base part upstanding from the support, and a pedestal mounted on the base part and carrying a clamping member terminating in recesses engageable with a back portion of the instrument. The invention provides a single shaft connecting the base part and the pedestal which passes through a bore in the pedestal which bore is elongated in cross-section and allows the pedestal to both tilt relative to the base part and to fold down onto the support when the shoulder rest is detached from the instrument, so as to reduce the height for storage.
