AcoustaGrip Protege Youth Size Violin Shoulder Rest - Blue

Fits: 1/8, 1/4, and some 1/2 size violins & violas

Pictured above as an 1/8 size violin shoulder rest, the AcoustaGrip Protege BLUE protects against bruising, sores and marks on the chin, neck and collarbone and relieves shoulder pain. The Protege BLUE Youth Size Shoulder Rests offer 3 unique layers of acoustical material, each of a different density and responsiveness. One layer is made from a special acoustical material, delivering enhanced sound, ultimate comfort and a secure hold. Another layer attaches simply with air to the back of your instrument using micro-air technology. The Blue layer gives this Protege model added projection, increased resonance and allows the musician to create the maximum overtones for the violin or viola.

The ergonomic design of the Protege BLUE sets the violin or violas position at the most favoured angle for ease of performance and the best sound projection. Protege BLUE uses no clamps or glues to stop the wood's vibrations or damage the violin's finish. The 1697 'Napoleon' Stradivarius and the 1778 'DeLay' Guadagnini enjoyed AcoustaGrip for many years. Both instruments were acclaimed for their condition and set world record sales prices.
