    My custom ArcRest is exactly what I’d been looking for.  As someone new to playing without a shoulder rest I was struggling to find something that would add a bit of support under the violin without detracting from the freedom I’d found in both my posture and sound quality.  I wasn’t sure what I needed when I first asked Tigran about the ArcRest but he worked with me to create one that is perfectly tailored to my setup and the carbon fiber reacts beautifully to my instrument which livens… Read more

    As soon as I tried the ArcRest I knew it was what I had been searching for. It opened up the sound on my violin, and it allowed complete freedom in playing. I highly recommend it!

    I’ve tried many different shoulder pads in my career and had been a long time user of those pink ‘cosmetic sponges’….until I recently switched over to the ArcRest. I liked the cosmetic pads for their comfort, and the freedom of movement that they allowed. The ArcRest achieves both these things and more! I admit that I was skeptical at first about the claims that it would help an instruments’ sound, but after trying the ArcRest on several different violins, I am a believer. The ArcRest may be rel… Read more

    I play viola in a local orchestra and have been trying different shoulder rests. I stumbled onto your website and decide to give the ArcRest a try. I got it this morning and tried it – oh WOW what a difference – the quality of sound from my viola is amazing and it is very comfortable. My viola teacher tried it on her viola and now she wants one! I will definitely recommend this to the other viola and violin players in the orchestra! Thank you for the great product!

    I really like the ArcRest because of how comfortable it is and how it helps open up the sound of my instrument!

    I have been searching for the right “rest” for many years. However, the moment I placed the ArcRest on my violin it was clear to me, this was the solution that I had been searching for. Also, it improved the sound of the instrument!

    I took violin lessons with Tigran in high school and I think it’s so beautiful that his teachings of connection wit the instrument and liberation of a beautiful sound come together in this innovative shoulder rest. It is both firm and light, comfortable, and makes violin playing easier and more fun than with any other shoulder rest. I highly recommend it!

    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.

    Finally!!! A product to put all the shoulder rests, including the “makeup” sponge, in drawers. From the moment I put the ArcRest on my fiddle, the sound was completely free. Tigran made mine extra thin, and weighing in at 1/4 oz (less than a well-worn sponge), makes playing completely at ease. The ArcRest, with 4 very small polyurethane feet, is held by a rubber band, making the sound extremely sonorous, as well as having the freedom to adjust the instrument as I deem necessary. I highly recomme… Read more

    I happily switched to the ArcRest because of its lightness, nice design, and its minimal contact with the instrument. The most important feature for me, however, is that with the ArcRest, my violin feels more alive. I use the ArcRest myself, and I recommend it to my students.
