Introducing the FOM wide violin shoulder rest
The FOM Violin shoulder rest features a practical wide style design that combines comfort, adjustability and excellent value, making it a dependable choice for beginners and developing violinists. Designed to fit both 3/4 and 4/4 violins, it offers flexible sizing that can easily adapt to different instruments, making it particularly well suited to students who are progressing between violin sizes.
Lightweight yet supportive, the rest helps maintain stable shoulder positioning while allowing natural movement and a relaxed playing posture. This improved support encourages consistent instrument placement, helping players focus on developing their tone and technique without the distraction of constant adjustment. The adjustable design also allows players to achieve a more personalised fit, improving comfort and stability during practice, lessons and rehearsals.
Soft padded contact points sit comfortably against the shoulder that offer secure support while helping to distribute the weight of the instrument more evenly. The rest allows players to focus on tone, accuracy and musical expression by encouraging stable positioning and a relaxed posture, rather than constantly adjusting their setup. The secure fit also helps keep the instrument steady while playing, supporting confident performance for both practice and study.
