• To protect your instrument during each transport, please

remove pad rest (1) and shoulder rest arm (2) and stow it

together with the hex wrench (5) using the included cloth

Mounting the Wittner shoulder rest to the instrument: First, separate the base from the shoulder rest arm. To this end, unlatch the small lever (1-see pic. on the right) , turn the shoulder rest arm with pad (2) ca. 1/8 turns counterclockwise and lift the shoulder rest arm vertically to the base. If there already is a chin rest mounted onto the instrument, dismount it first. Please make sure that you do not damage the rib of the instrument with your tools.
PAGE 3
Adjusting and handling the Wittner shoulder rest: When the base is mounted to your instrument you can reinsert the shoulder rest arm with pad. Put the part with the free end into the drilling of the base (1-see pic on the right) and turn the shoulder rest arm by ca. 1/8 turns clockwise. You should feel some resistance at the end of the turn. Then latch the shoulder rest arm with the lever (2-see pic on the right ) by rotating the lever clockwise. When you hear a „click“ your shoulder rest is safely latched.
