    Testimonials

    One very interesting thing, the ArcRest helps my sense of rotational motion with my shoulder and it makes the long hours immensely easier! After practicing some very high end virtuosic pieces on viola with a regular nice shoulder rest, my left hand is ready to give out, agonizing… I can’t use the traditional shoulder rest after using yours.
    Paul PeabodyViolinNew York City Ballet OrchestraNew York, NY
    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

    The ArcRest is truly innovative! Its concave shape and rigidity offer great neutral support just under the collarbone, and its distance from the instrument and light weight benefit sound quality, something that no other foam pad offers. And bravo also for investing in a high-tech rubber band: stability is a must, and this is the best rubber band I have ever seen! I have added it to my array of preferred solutions for whenever I fit anyone moving forward!

    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 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!

    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!

    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!
    Linda OwenViolinPacific SymphonyOrange County, CA
    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!
    Ed Le BrocqMusician, educator, and broadcasterBrisbane, Australia
    You have an absolutely excellent product! I love it and my students love it as well! Such a great alternative to the old school sponge and 99% of shoulder rests.
    Daniel LamasOwnerLamas String StudioManhattan, NY
    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.
