The Loft Sponge

Contoured foam Shoulder Rest

Invented by the owner, David Schlub, The Loft Sponge is the answer to your shoulder rest needs.  Just look at the features:

  • Fits easily in any case
  • Attaches easily with a rubber band
  • Adds no weight to the violin
  • Cannot damage the instrument
  • Can be put on even the youngest child
  • Comes in sizes to fit violins from 1/16 to 4/4 and two types - purple or black foam*
  • An unbeatable price!

 Only $3.25

* The black foam is more dense, yet softer with a tackiness that keeps in place on the instrument a little better. Higher production costs increases the price of the black foam rests to $4.75.

The Loft Sponge is extremely utilitarian and flexible. It can be adjusted to fit the preferences of each user.  Install with the thick end of the pad a little off center and the thin end extending beyond the side of the violin. (See picture at right)

Placement will vary according to the type of chinrest and can be adjusted for comfort and fit. A single rubber band attached to the tail gut or end button and stretched to the bass side of the instrument is all it should take to secure The Sponge.  Although the pad comes in six sizes, the sizes can be interchanged for comfort and personal preference.
