About: Shoulder rest

An Entity of Type: WikicatViolins, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The shoulder rest is an accessory that can be found on violins and violas. The shoulder rest appeared around the middle part of the 20th century. It may be made of wood, aluminium, carbon fiber or plastic. Usually, the shoulder rest attaches to the edge of the back of the violin with "feet" padded with rubber tubing or made of soft plastic. The goal of a shoulder rest is to allow a more comfortable attitude while playing by adding height to the shoulder and preventing the instrument from slipping. A shoulder rest generally follows the curve of the shoulder; some shoulder rests are bendable, others are made of sponge-like material, and a few have an extension that hooks further over the shoulder for stability.

  • La spalliera è un accessorio che si utilizza spesso per suonare il violino o la viola. Si tratta di un sostegno collocato tra lo strumento e la spalla dell'esecutore, che serve per facilitare la presa dello strumento e aiutare a mantenere la giusta distanza dalla spalla. La spalliera apparve intorno alla parte centrale del ventesimo secolo. È un accessorio introdotto nel Novecento e molto diffuso ma non di utilizzo universale, in quanto la sua utilità è legata alle caratteristiche fisiche del musicista. (it)
  • 肩当て(かたあて)は、 1. * ヴァイオリン・ヴィオラの演奏時に、楽器の支持を確実にするため装着する器具。左肩との摩擦で楽器を安定させる。本項で詳述する。 2. * 防具の肩当については具足を参照のこと。別名として袖とも言われる。 時に両手を自由に使えるなど、有用な部分も多い。結果奏者の多くが使用するが、とくに痩せた体格の場合肩当ての効果は大きい。考案したのはユーディ・メニューインといわれる。 (ja)
