It is not recommended that books are put in an instrument case as the extra pressure could cause damage. It would certainly be disappointing if you were totally unable to play it on the spot and have to go home first to spend hours practising it before enjoying this musical moment with your friend. Shoulder rests Violin and Viola Shoulder rests are very personal and what suits one player may not suit another.

This edition now includes supporting audio available online for students to check their performances against.Tuning pegs Tuning pegs for violin, viola and cello are available in a variety of shapes and woods, the most common being the ebony pegs in the Parisian style. p>The saying goes ‘a stitch in time saves nine’ and never a truer word was spoken when it comes to Brass instrument stands.
