Specially Engineered Fixed Tilt – The unique computer-modelled design of the EVEREST shoulder rest raises the violin to an ergonomically correct and comfortable playing angle.
Teachers, students, and professionals alike have all praised this innovative and distinctive design: teachers love the way it trains correct playing angles, while students and professionals love comfort, durability, and style.
Adjustable – Unscrew grippers and select alternate positions for best fit to the instrument. They are designed to fit 15" size violas, 15.5" size violas, 16" size violas, and 16.5" size violas.
Simple and Virtually Unbreakable – The one-piece body integrated with adjustable leg height means there are NO angle brackets or swivel mechanisms to break and NO thumb knobs to misplace. Unlike the inexpensive polypropylene plastic that other shoulder rest manufacturers use, the EVEREST Viola Shoulder Rest is made of a strong, high-grade ABS material that provides strength and flexibility.
Improved Holding Legs and Foam – Identical and interchangeable parts for both the left and right legs no longer need to be confused about which leg attaches to which side of the body. The newly engineered lyre-shaped holding legs are made of a soft, non-skid, wear-resistant material, with additional height requirements built right into the body of the shoulder rest. The foam is made from high-quality, extra-thick and extra-soft neoprene for long-lasting comfort and excellent support.
Functionality and Style – The distinctive 3D computer-modelled design of the EVEREST viola shoulder rest maximizes comfort without sacrificing style and elegance. Traditional areas of high stress are reinforced for long-term durability. Engineered by Americans to American standards, this viola shoulder rest is built to last.
Low Cost – This shoulder rest is designed to help meet the growing needs of school-based strings programs. With limited funding for these programs, students cannot afford the outrageous and expensive prices other shoulder rest manufacturers are charging.
FOM Shoulder Rests are ideal for students on a budget.
