ERGOACOUSTICS LAB

The way we hold and play the violin/viola is a constant evolving process. Even as recent as 30 years ago, the equipment and tools that were available to us for the instruments were different and some things that were in vogue may not be appropriate nowadays. Just look at the wide use of metal strings rather than gut strings these days and how most players will play with shoulder rests rather than without, like some of the great violinists just 30 years ago... Phantom shoulder rest is the first product of Ergo Acoustics Lab (EA Lab), a company which strives to invent and produce ergonomically and acoustically innovative string instrument accessories to enhance the music making experience. We are truly unique in the industry because EA Lab is founded by two Health Professionals who are also serious string players.
