Viola Artist High High or Low?
The viola Artist is our top model. The frame is extended on both sides, so the weight of the instrument is spread over a larger area of your shoulder. Less pressure per square centimetre means less strain when you play for hours. Made for concertmasters and soloists.
Fits every viola size. There is no fixed width. You bend the wire legs by hand to match your instrument, from small student violas up to the widest concert instruments. "Low" and "High" refer to height, not to the size of the viola.
Key Features:
- Extended on BOTH sides by 20mm — the widest support surface in the range
- Height range: 40-100mm — the extended range
- Suits a longer neck or an open playing stance. In our experience, players with slender, narrow shoulders often do better with High too — a supporting clue, not a deciding factor; confirm with the fist test in our fitting guide
- Laser-engraved grooves PLUS thin rubber layer
- Customizable by bending the wire legs by hand — they hold the shape you give them
- Lightweight design (52g)
- Made for concertmasters and soloists
- Handcrafted in Czech Republic
Specifications: Viola | 52 g ±2 g (approx. 1.83 oz) — hand-made, foam thickness varies slightly | Drawn spring steel frame, bendable steel legs, EVA foam, rubber feet, rubber grip layer

The best shoulder rest on the market by far. Easily adjustable in any direction, very light, my viola sounds better with it as well.
A very nice shoulder rest! Light, comfortable, and minimalistic. Doesn't change the sound of the instrument. So far it's been working great, we'll see what happens with durability.
