Pirastro KorfkerRest Violin

Comfort profile Shaped to your shoulder, not the other way around.

The bendable maple bridge means you can adapt the rest to the exact curve of your shoulder and collar rather than padding around a fixed shape. The extensive adjustment options for position, height, and tilt allow precise ergonomic personalisation. Because the rest makes minimal contact with the instrument body and uses sound-neutral materials, players consistently report a wider dynamic range and richer articulation compared to their previous rest.

How to use Fitting and adjusting.

- Attach the feet to the instrument at the edge outside the purfling. The grip feet hold securely without slipping during playing.
- Bend the maple bridge gradually to match your shoulder shape. The mechanical process used to make it bendable means it holds its shape once set.
- Use the leg adjustments to set height and tilt to your preferred playing position.
- The ErgoPack (included) enables additional fine-tuning for position and individual fit.
- Consult the instruction manual before fitting. The KorfkerRest rewards careful initial setup.

Care and storage Looking after the maple and hardware.

Wipe the maple bridge with a dry cloth; avoid liquid cleaners that could affect the wood or varnish. The aluminium legs require no maintenance. Replace the rubber pads (four spares included) when they show wear. Store the rest in its case or attached to the instrument; the grip feet hold reliably in transport. Avoid leaving the rest in direct sunlight or extreme heat for extended periods.

Questions Common questions.

What violin sizes does this fit?

The KorfkerRest Violin is designed for 4/4 violin. The adjustable feet accommodate standard full-size instrument proportions.

How much adjustment does it offer?

Quite a lot. You can adjust the position of the rest along the shoulder, the height of the legs, and the tilt angle. The ErgoPack included with Model 2 adds further fine-tuning options for individual fit. The bendable maple bridge is a separate, permanent adjustment to match the shape of your shoulder.

Is the maple hypoallergenic or safe for players with material sensitivities?

The KorfkerRest uses high-quality maple tone wood with a sound-neutral varnish and minimal rubber contact. Players with rubber sensitivities will find significantly less rubber contact here than on conventional rests. If you have specific material allergies, check the full materials list before purchasing.

How do I care for the rubber pads?

Wipe pads clean with a dry cloth. When the rubber loses its grip or shows wear, swap in one of the four replacement pads included in the box. Replacement pads are also available separately.
