Bending the rest
the Pirastro Korfkerrest has been pre-bent to a shape that
has proven to be comfortable for many players. a unique
feature of this rest is that its shape can be changed by
manual bending to fit the individual, as seen in picture 1,
2 and 3.

FolloWing in minD:
• Do not bend the rest if you have previously hardened it
(see the section entitled »hardening the wood«). Bending
a hardened rest will result in the wood breaking.
• the fibres of the wood need time to adjust to a new
shape, therefore always bend the rest slowly and
carefully. Fast and forceful bending will damage the
wood and may cause cracking.
• the rest has a bending limit. By bending it slowly and
carefully you will feel when the rest cannot bend any
further. Do not force the wood to bend beyond this point.
• Please keep in mind that small adjustments can have a
significant effect on comfort.
• clamping the rest onto the instrument will increase the
shoulder curve slightly. Bear this in mind when deciding
the final curve.
• When the rest is bent and its shape altered, the legs
might need to be readjusted. Please refer to the section
entitled »adjusting the legs«.
