It used to be that as a student grew and moved up to a larger violin, parents would have to buy a new shoulder rest. Not anymore; the V-809, an innovative new shoulder rest from Meisel Stringed Instruments, is adjustable so it “grows” right along with the student.  

Thanks to the V-809’s adjustable feature, students can continue to use the same shoulder rest as they move up from fractional violins to a full-size model. This spares parents the expense of buying a new shoulder rest with each instrument, something that is sure to be appreciated during these economic times. 

The V-809 can be adjusted to fit any violin from a 1/8 model to a full-sized instrument, as well as 11-inch to 14-inch violas. The unique design of the V-809 makes the adjustment process simple and convenient. 

Weighing only two ounces, the ergonomic V-809 is comfortable and unobtrusive, so it will not interfere with a student’s concentration or performance. By contributing to the comfort of students, Meisel’s adjustable shoulder rest makes them more likely to continue in music.  

The V-809 Adjustable Shoulder Rest for violins and violas has a list price of $24.95.
