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 having a bearing generally aligned with an adjacent end of the support, a pedestal connected to the base part by a shaft rotatable within the bearing, and a clamping member carried by the pedestal and terminating in recesses engageable with a back portion of the instrument. The invention provides torsion springs acting between the pedestals and the base parts so that angular displacement of the support relative to the clamping members is resisted by the springs.
