Mandolin Arm Rest
The Siren Arm rest was developed to protect the
finish on the top of a mandolin from the damage that can result from continued
exposure to skin.
A welcome side effect is that with the arm no
longer in contact with the top, the top is free to vibrate unobstructed. In
addition, holding the mandolin between your body and forearm is much more
comfortable. Instead of sharp edges digging into the forearm, the arm rests on a
rounded and polished ebony surface.
The arm rests are hand carved from solid ebony,
and attached to the instrument using the same brackets used to attach chin rests
to violins. Only cork contacts the instrument.
Pricing:
$50.00 ea.
Add $5.00 per shipment for shipping and handling within the US.
