Pirastro Korfker Rest Violin Model 2

Ok, it is a lot to spend on just a shoulder rest but it is hands down the most comfortable I've ever used and I've tried a lot of different options in the past. This is actually my 2nd korfker rest. The first one got damaged and in spite of this fact, and the eye watering price, there was only one shoulder rest I was going to buy.

This is the most beautiful shoulder rest. It is so light and comfortable it has taken my playing to a new level. I'm pretty sure the violin sound better too. It certainly feels like it does!
If it doesn't fit you straight from the box, it can take a bit if time to get it adjusted properly.

I expected more for the money i gave for this shoulder rest.

After a couple years of using it I need to say, why so poor job on the pads? You have to change them every couple months.. 3,44¤ each, come on...

On the other hand, once you set it up the way you like, its almost perfect.

This shoulder rest has been incredibly comfortable for me. It is honestly one of the best purchases I have made for my violin setup, especially for the health of my neck and overall playing comfort.

I also noticed much more freedom in my hands and general technique. Even though I am not currently playing extremely difficult orchestral repertoire like I used to, I still feel significantly more relaxed and technically free while playing.

I am very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to other violinists.

Hardly any adjustment need for me, just completely freed up my playing. Great product

Though expensive it is very light and customizable.

This is the best shoulder rest used so far.

I have never used a shoulder rest as good as this one

Overall very satisfied, lightweight and comfortable.. Takes time to adjust to the violin
