Abstract
A shoulder rest for an instrument such as a violin or viola comprising an elongated support suitable for resting on a user's shoulder, ends of the support having attachment devices for holding the instrument spaced away from the support. The attachment devices each include a base part having a socket portion with an internal cavity, and a pedestal including a nut member rotatable within the cavity and having a threaded bore, and a normally upright threaded stem mounted in the threaded bore and carrying a clamping member engageable with the instrument back. The nut member has hand manipulatable means allowing it to be rotated manually within the cavity about the bore axis to raise or lower the stem relative to the base part so as to adjust the height of the clamping member relative to the support while the clamping member remains connected to the instrument.
