ABSTRACT:
This support includes a stirrup (2) brought to be secured in the usual manner on the violin. The stirrup includes a plate in which is formed a channel (17) having a dovetail cross-section. An arm (5) forming part of a shoulder support exhibits a like cross-section at its fastening end (14). Furthermore such arm is split in order to accommodate a control element (18). The latter, through rotation thereof around the axis (X--X) of the slot (13), can spread apart the branches (5a and 5b) of the arm in order to clamp it in the channel (17). The control element (18) is assembled on the shoulder support (4) in a manner to prevent loss thereof. Application of the invention is to stringed instruments played at the shoulder.
