The ArcRest is an innovative shoulder pad featuring a comfortable foam pad that fills the gap between your instrument and shoulder, allowing increased freedom of movement over traditional shoulder rests.
The foam pad is suspended by tiny rubber pads, decreasing contact with the back of the instrument. This decreases damping, freeing up resonance for better sound.
For maximum flexibility, this set for larger violas (16″-16.5″) comes with all 4 standard pads. The base is 5″ (127mm) instead of 4″ (102mm) long. Perfect for teachers to help students find the perfect fit!
Overall heights for the different pads are approximately:
Thin: 0.96″ (a little more than 15/16″), 24.4mm
Medium: 1.07″ (1-1/16″), 27.2mm
Thick: 1.18″ (1-3/16″), 30mm
Extra Thick: 1.31″ (1-5/16″), 33.3mm
