Violin shoulder rest

PendingJP2026519991AViolinsMusic aids
The present invention relates to a shoulder rest applicable to stringed instruments such as violins and violas, and more specifically, to a technology that allows for the simultaneous and stable support of a shoulder rest and chin rest using only a pair of turnbuckles without the addition of separate fixing devices, thereby minimizing factors that impede sound quality and allowing the support position to be adjusted according to the physical condition of the performer. That is, the present invention is characterized by comprising: a chin rest member provided in a form that rests on the soundboard of a violin, with a pair of first connecting threaded rods formed on one side; turnbuckles that are screwed onto the first connecting threaded rods; a pair of second connecting threaded rods each connected to the opposite side of the turnbuckles, with a mounting rail consisting of a single path at the ends of the second connecting threaded rods that connects the second connecting threaded rods to each other; a clamp provided at a position desired by the performer along the path of the mounting rail; and a composite support member that is connected to the clamp and supports the performer's shoulders and chest.
