The Performa shoulder rest, developed by Cyrus Forough in collaboration with master luthiers, is engineered to provide an ergonomically optimized playing experience, especially for violinists accustomed to playing without a shoulder rest.

Key features include:

• Wide Surface Area: Distributes the weight of the instrument evenly across the shoulder and collarbone for comfort and stability.
• Adjustable Feet: The shoulder rest comes with three different feet to customize height:
  • Short Foot (11mm)
  • Long Foot (17mm)
  • Extra-Long Foot (25mm)

The shorter feet provide a minimal lift, ideal for those who prefer to play almost without a shoulder rest, while the longer foot offers additional height if needed. The feet have a soft rubber covering for a strong grip without dampening the instrument's sound.

• Comfort Pads: Two soft foam pads are included to enhance comfort:
  • Pre-installed 2mm pad
  • Optional 5mm pad

These pads are easily interchangeable and reusable, allowing for further customization based on the player's preference.
