The bridge is made from high-quality laminated maple tone wood, rendered bendable through a purely mechanical process that preserves its acoustic character. Players shape it once to the exact contour of their shoulder, and it holds that form. Legs are forged from hardened aluminium alloy, keeping the rest stable at minimal weight. The feet contact the viola only at the very edge outside the purfling, and the composition of special polyamide and minimal rubber significantly reduces damping compared to conventional plastic rests. The ErgoPack (included in Model 2) opens further adjustment, and upgraded rubber pads improve grip and comfort.

Leg adjustments for height and tilt, plus the ErgoPack, cover the ergonomic range needed across different body proportions and playing styles. Because the rest makes minimal contact with the viola body and uses acoustically neutral materials throughout, players consistently report a broader dynamic range and more responsive articulation, particularly in the lower registers where the viola's character lives.

Plastic and heavy rubber rests damp the instrument's vibration directly where the rest contacts the rib. The KorfkerRest uses laminated maple (acoustically similar to the instrument itself), minimal rubber, and aluminium legs, all of which resist absorbing string energy. Most players report a wider dynamic range and more colour in the sound, particularly in the lower strings. The effect is more pronounced on viola than violin because the instrument is larger and the damped frequencies sit more centrally in the viola's expressive range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ab-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-faq-q\"\u003eHow do I set up the feet and adjust the height and tilt?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-faq-a\"\u003eAttach the feet to the lower bout edge, outside the purfling. Start with the legs at a neutral height, then adjust the screws to raise or lower each leg independently, setting the tilt angle to match the angle of your shoulder when the viola is at rest in playing position. The ErgoPack enables further positional fine-tuning. The instruction manual covers each adjustment step in detail and is the recommended first reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ab-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-faq-q\"\u003eI have a latex or rubber sensitivity. Is this rest safe to use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-faq-a\"\u003eThe KorfkerRest uses significantly less rubber than conventional rests, and the contact points are small and positioned on the instrument rather than directly against the player's neck or chin. The main contact with your shoulder is via the maple bridge and the instrument itself. If you have a specific latex or rubber allergy, review the full materials specification before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ab-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-faq-q\"\u003eI currently use a Kun or similar plastic rest. Is this a significant upgrade?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ab-faq-a\"\u003eIt is a different category of rest rather than a direct iteration on the plastic design. The KorfkerRest is lighter, uses tone wood instead of plastic for the bridge, and is shaped permanently to your shoulder rather than relying on a spring-loaded clamp mechanism. Players coming from a Kun or Wolf rest typically notice the ergonomic improvement immediately and the acoustic difference within the first few sessions. The setup investment is higher, but it is a one-time process once the maple is shaped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pirastro","offers":[{"title":"Viola","offer_id":45419606311079,"sku":null,"price":720.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/2432\/4007\/files\/1_Schaubild_Rest-d529deed0b9faf381223f7daaa645b42_b48b8f59-c3f9-402e-8a25-002be4f35eec.jpg?v=1737206672"},{"product_id":"viola-mute-tourte-style-round-rubber","title":"Viola Mute - Tourte Style Round Rubber","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e\n.viola-tourte-mute-page{font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI','Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#1F1D1A;background:#FAF8F4;max-width:960px;margin:0 auto;padding:0 24px;line-height:1.75;font-size:17px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .mh-section{padding:80px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #E5DDD0}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .mh-hero{padding:90px 0 60px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .mh-contact{padding:80px 0;border-bottom:none}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .eyebrow{font-size:11px;letter-spacing:5px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8A7E6B;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 20px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page h1{font-family:'Iowan Old Style','Baskerville',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:58px;line-height:1.05;font-weight:500;margin:0 0 22px;color:#1F1D1A;letter-spacing:-0.5px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page h1 .ital{color:#6E5B3E;font-style:italic}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page h2{font-family:'Iowan Old Style','Baskerville',Georgia,serif;font-size:34px;line-height:1.18;font-weight:500;margin:0 0 22px;color:#1F1D1A}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page p{margin:0 0 18px;color:#1F1D1A}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .sub{color:#6B655C;font-size:18px;line-height:1.6;margin:0 0 28px;max-width:680px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .specs{background:#F2EDE4;border-radius:4px;padding:32px 36px;margin-top:8px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .specs table{width:100%;border-collapse:collapse}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .specs th,.viola-tourte-mute-page .specs td{text-align:left;padding:14px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #E5DDD0;font-size:15px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .specs th{font-size:11px;letter-spacing:3px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8A7E6B;font-weight:600;width:160px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .specs tr:last-child th,.viola-tourte-mute-page .specs tr:last-child td{border-bottom:none}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page a.text-link{color:#6E5B3E;text-decoration:underline;text-underline-offset:4px}\n@media(max-width:720px){\n.viola-tourte-mute-page h1{font-size:38px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page h2{font-size:26px}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .mh-section{padding:60px 0}\n.viola-tourte-mute-page .mh-hero{padding:60px 0 40px}\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"viola-tourte-mute-page\"\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"mh-section mh-hero\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eViola Mute · Tourte Style\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eRound rubber mute,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ital\"\u003efor con sordino passages.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sub\"\u003eA round rubber orchestral mute in the Tourte pattern, made to sit on the D and G strings over the bridge for muted passages on the viola.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"mh-section\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eHow it works\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn for con sordino, parked for tutti.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlide the mute onto the D and G strings above the bridge for a softer, veiled tone whenever the part calls for \u003cem\u003econ sordino\u003c\/em\u003e.

When you are not muting, the mute slides off the bridge and snaps to the clip magnetically, sitting flush against the tailpiece without rattling or affecting playability. The high-tech rubber is engineered to fit the bridge firmly with no vibration noise, and the rounded inner edge reduces rosin contamination between the bridge and the mute.
