ABSTRACT:
An improved shoulder rest for an instrument and, in particular, a violin, viola, or the like, having a chin rest and a supporting clamp engaging a back portion of the instrument generally opposite the chin rest, is provided which includes a mounting base securable between the supporting clamp and the back portion of the instrument. An arm is detachably securable to the base at a number of different locations. A shoulder rest element which rests against the user's shoulder is, in turn, secured to the arm in such a manner so as to permit sliding, rotational, and tilting adjustable movement of the rest element relative to the arm. Thereafter, the shoulder rest element may be locked in the desired and stationary position of orientation relative to the arm.
