Width Adjustment - PIRASTRO KorfkerRest LUNA Instruction Manual

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Width adjustment

Each of the three barrel legs of each length has a different
off-centre thread position and can be clicked into the
hooks in two different ways: with the shaft outwards for
a wide position and inwards for a narrow position.
As an example, in picture 3 you see barrel legs no. 3 and 6
positioned for the maximum width of the rest. In picture
4 you see the same barrel legs reversed for its minimum
width.
The barrel leg combination chart shows with which com-
binations to achieve a specific width. In the chart, »w«
stands for the »wide« use of a barrel leg (shaft outwards),
»n« stands for its »narrow« use (shaft inwards).
Before reversing or replacing a barrel leg please refer to the
chapter »Using the barrel legs« on page 10.
By combining different barrel legs, the KorfkerRest
can be adjusted in 2 mm increments to fit violins from
to full size. When used on a
the size and height of the rest are suitable for the player in
question.
When clamped onto a violin, the minimum width of the
rest is 186 mm and the maximum width is 210 mm. Since
the shoulder rest is ideally placed closer to the player's
neck, the rest can be used on violins wider than 210 mm.
Usually, a long barrel leg will be used on the chest side
and a short barrel leg on the shoulder side. For an overall
low position two short barrel legs can be used, for a high
position two long barrel legs. When using the same length
of barrel leg on both the shoulder and the chest side, the
width range of the shoulder rest is 188 - 208 mm.
