It's been in the works for quite some time, but we would like to formally reintroduce our classic wood bases, now made with maple! These bases are just as lightweight and strong as our all-balsa original, but a… instagram.com/p/B1HBOWSgu4a/…

Here are a couple of our carbon fiber bases being strength tested. Both made it to 30lbs (~13kg) and sprung back, ready for use (don't worry, we marked them to make sure they stayed test specimens only!). They are… instagram.com/p/BxK31p9gQg6/…

We've made the news once again! Aaron's alma mater, RIT, featured the ArcRest in the spring issue of their alumni magazine. We're proud to be included with so many other examples of RIT… instagram.com/p/BwUU3iTgnOU/…

The first rule of test is nothing goes as planned. There is always some surprise. Our surprise this round was a viola base that didn't want to break. Got to 30lbs (13kg) and instead of… instagram.com/p/BwE81HEAOww/…

Checking the strength on a couple of veneer bases. Both of these made it to 30 lbs. (13 kg) without breaking and even bounced back once the load was removed! We're really happy with the… instagram.com/p/BvXTzl0g48x/…

It was a bit daunting cutting into that piece of carbon fiber cloth for the first time, but the results were well worth it. Check out the new carbon fiber base for viola… instagram.com/p/BuO4tfTApkX/…

One of our recent batch working with veneer. The grain pops quite nicely and we think it's quite an eye-catcher. We still have to put it through its paces, but we're very happy with how… instagram.com/p/BtSFeDDgL9x/…

Introducing for the first time, our carbon fiber violin base! It's 60% thinner than our wood bases and practically indestructible. Check them out on our website, and if you're at… instagram.com/p/BqzpYklAVC5/…

Just in time for #nyssma2018 we have a new Shoulder Buddy! The white base is classic, but can also be used as a canvas for their creativity and to make it uniquely their own. Be sure to… instagram.com/p/Bqp3zQJgOFY/…

We love seeing how people set up their ArcRest! The creativity is always amazing to see, and it just shows over and over how versatile and flexible the ArcRest is! If you have an… instagram.com/p/BqfakouABVW/…

After some snafus, we finally got our copies of the_strad_! Check us out! Apparently, we're "too established" to be the featured new product. We'll take that as a compliment! #arcrest… instagram.com/p/BpfugYEgPtW/…

Just a taste of a little something we're currently trying out. We've incorporated hardwood veneer into the outer layers. This one has maple and we think it turned out quite nice. Let us… instagram.com/p/BpXif_sgNJX/…

At The ArcRest, we care about quality and making a durable, comfortable shoulder pad. These are a couple of raw bases undergoing testing. #testing #qualitycontrol #arcrest instagram.com/p/BpAWdY4gZSp/…
