AcoustaGrip Shoulder Rests are a unique solution for every violinist. AcoustaGrip gives you the securest grip of any shoulder rest without discomfort and rigidity, allowing you the freedom to move and adjust. Long practice sessions can be a joy. You can focus all of your attention on honing your technique and playing more expressively. No more constant physical pain that all too often accompanies playing with a hard, rigid shoulder rest.
Clamping shoulder rests have other downsides. Clamping shoulder rests “mute the sound” of the instrument by restricting the natural vibrations of the wood. AcoustaGrip allows these natural vibrations to flower, giving you the “Overtones” that create beautiful sounds. AcoustaGrip utilizes a flexible acoustical material instead of rigid metals. Clamping shoulder rests can also cause damage to the edges of your violin or viola. (After rigorous testing, AcoustaGrip shoulder rests were used on extremely fine instruments (the 1697 ‘Napoleon’ Stradivarius and the 1778 ‘DeLay’ Guadagnini) for extended periods of time. Both instruments were acclaimed for their pristine condition.)
AcoustaGrip offers a line of products that is helping violinists everywhere to enjoy the comfort and freedom of movement that allows them to play at their best.
Violinists and violists all over the world are acclaiming the many benefits. Some of our customers had been searching for the right shoulder rest for many years until they found AcoustaGrip.
