PSR Original · Petite · 1/4 and 1/8 Violin
The classic shoulder rest,
sized for the smallest players.
PSR Original is the line that put PSR on the map: a simple single ridge shape, a forgiving fit, and a price that suits a first violin. The Petite version is shaped specifically for 1/4 and 1/8 violins, where every millimetre counts.
The PSR line up
Three PSRs. This is the Original.
PSR offers three different rests with the same elastic-loop attachment. Original is the entry point. Perfect adds an adjustable curve. Plus is the most contoured and customisable.
Original
Single ridge, generally flat surface. Easy to fit, very forgiving, the most affordable in the range.
Perfect
Adjustable curve along the body for players who want more shape under the collarbone.
Plus
Most contoured profile with the highest degree of fit customisation.
Why the Original
A first rest that gets out of the way.
Simple shape
A single ridge and a generally flat surface mean fewer pressure points and an easy match for most young players.
Forgiving fit
The elastic-loop attachment moves with the player rather than fixing the rest in one position, which suits growing students.
Honest price
Affordable enough to be the first rest a young player owns, without compromising on the basics of comfort.
How it fits
Installation, in four steps.
- Take the elastic loop and thread it through the nut of the violin in a slip knot.
- Place the shoulder rest on the bottom of the violin's back.
- Stretch the elastic over the shoulder rest.
- Attach the elastic to the two lowest corners of the violin so it forms a triangle. This lets the rest move and adjust to the player.
