Win a Newly-Released Pirastro KorfkerRest LUNA for Viola!

Invented by Berent Korfker, the PIRASTRO KorfkerRest Luna is ultra light and compact

In conjunction with our good friends at Pirastro, The Violin Channel is this week giving away a brand new Pirastro KorfkerRest LUNA for Viola.

Invented by Berent Korfker, the PIRASTRO KorfkerRest Luna is made from a proprietary sound-optimized synthetic material and is an ultra-light shoulder rest that has been designed both ergonomically and acoustically.

"At Pirastro the original sound and sensitivity of your instrument are sacred," Berent Korfker told The Violin Channel. "Allowing the character and quality of an instrument’s sound to be heard unimpeded is what we call offering fidelity of sound and trueness of timbre."

The new KorfkerRest Luna for viola weighs the same as the wooden viola KorfkerRest, only 40 grams. Like the violin model, it offers solid stability and folds up into an ultra-compact shape. It fits all full-size violas from 222-258mm wide.

A set of differently sized and interchangeable barrel legs is provided, which once clicked in, become an integral and secure part of the rest, enabling subtle positioning closer to the shoulder or the chest. Designed to be instantly comfortable, the rounded shape of the PIRASTRO KorfkerRest Luna’s cross-section naturally fits the body’s curves and eliminates the need for any tilt adjustment. The two soft pads focus the instrument's contact with the body in two areas, shoulder and chest, avoiding the collar bone.

The shoulder rest pack includes 8 barrel legs, 2 rubber pads, extra O-rings, and a protection bag (100% organic cotton, GOTS certified). A printed instruction manual will help users to get quickly acquainted with their new shoulder rest.

You can read more about the new Pirastro KorfkerRest Luna for Viola in this interview with Berent Korfker and on Pirastro's website.
