During my performing career I played both, with various shoulder rests and without.
Straight out of the box, the ArcRest felt like the ideal match for my Lorenzo Storioni’s sound projection quality, overtones and ease of playing, thus enabling me to use it instantly in masterclasses and concerts. Students, teachers and performing artists should greatly benefit from using the ArcRest.

The Arcrest is extremely comfortable, easy to adjust and allows a richer sound to come from the back of my viola. It encourages a natural flexible hold, and the viola feels part of my body. Love it!
