Golierik
Violin shoulder rest for naturally comfortable posture
Concept
Make your performance as natural and free as possible
Golierik is designed to provide natural and comfortable support for your posture by simply placing it on your shoulder.
It is a cushioned shoulder rest that does not interfere with the natural movements of the musician.
Conventional shoulder rests are typically designed to bridge the gap between both sides of the violin,
and are predominantly made of wood, plastic, or acrylic.
However, many players find that these rigid types, which fix the instrument from the shoulder to the chest,
restrict freedom of movement around the neck and chest, leading to discomfort and pain.
To make your playing more natural and comfortable,
and to allow for freer expression,
we developed Golierik

I had stopped playing the violin because it wasn't comfortable and caused neck pain. I was very surprised when I tried it as soon as it arrived and found I could play without any pain at all.
