The Wittner 280111 violin shoulder rest is an innovative solution for players who value comfort without compromising sound quality. Unlike traditional rests that clamp onto the ribs and restrict the vibration of the instrument’s plates, this model attaches centrally at the endpin, where the violin’s internal block provides natural support.
This smart design allows the top and back plates to vibrate freely, ensuring that your violin’s tone remains open, resonant, and unmuted. The rest is practically an extension of the chinrest, creating a seamless and acoustically efficient setup.
Made in Germany from lightweight, high-quality composite material, the Wittner 280111 offers excellent durability, easy adjustability, and hypoallergenic comfort. Its ergonomic shape supports a natural posture, reducing fatigue during long rehearsals or performances.
