PIRASTRO KorfkerSpring®
Ergonomic Revolution: PIRASTRO KorfkerSpring® – The Chinrest That Becomes Part of You!
The violin is one of the few instruments that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. Instruments by Antonio Stradivari are still the gold standard, and modern masters adhere to the traditional scale lengths and proportions. Nevertheless, the violin sounds completely different today thanks to innovations in its components. Modern musicians use new strings, as well as critical auxiliary accessories: the shoulder rest and the chinrest.
When we hear epithets like "divine" or "demonic" sound, it is always related to the musician who merges into one with the instrument. Their breath and heartbeat synchronize with the bow strokes. What allows for such a masterful fusion? Primarily, correct posture, where the instrument and bow become an "extension of the violinist's body." This is where a correctly selected and adjusted shoulder rest and chinrest come into play.
For many years, the Pirastro company has delighted musicians with its innovative solutions. Several years ago, they introduced the revolutionary KorfkerRest shoulder rest, which, despite its high price, became immensely popular.
Now, Pirastro is announcing yet another revolutionary product, developed by Berent Korfker: PIRASTRO KorfkerSpring®!
It is the world's lightest (just 15 grams) and the first flexible chinrest, designed to provide unprecedented freedom of movement and relaxation in the upper body.
