• [New Products] Viva La Musica Shoulder Rests “Diamond Twist” and “Diamond No. 1 Twist” Now Available!

  

  2026/07/15

  Viva La Musica, a popular shoulder rest brand from Slovenia, has released two new wooden shoulder rests: the “Diamond Twist” and the “Diamond No. 1 Twist”!
  Both models feature the “Twist End Member,” which allows for even finer adjustments to the shoulder rest’s position and angle than previous models, ensuring a perfect fit tailored to the instrument and the player’s body type.
  The “Diamond Twist” models for violin and viola are lightweight wooden shoulder rests crafted from carefully selected maple. By combining a patented 360-degree adjustment mechanism with the Twist End Member, they provide an excellent fit and help bring out the instrument’s natural, rich resonance.
  
  The “Diamond No. 1 Twist” for violin is a premium model featuring a curved shape that follows the contour of the shoulder and a gold-plated Twist End Member. It is also recommended for players who prefer to hold their instrument close to the body, positioned more toward the center and front.
  We invite you to try these new models, designed to provide a superior fit and greater playing comfort.
