Introducing New FluteGels

Bone spurs or tendonitis?  Many flute players struggle with pain from injuries to their fingers.  FluteGels can help!  The thin Gel cushion sticks securely to your flute and gives  enough protection to allow sore fingers to heal, and allow you to play pain free.  Helps resist rolling too!  Sold 2 per pack.

The Micro: Our New Shoulder Rest

Micro from GelRest

NEW for 2017 – the “Micro”

You asked and we listened.  The Micro is a super-low (3/8″ or 9mm) shoulder rest for young students, players with baroque instruments, violists, or anyone who needs a shoulder rest that adds a minimal amount of extra height.  The name Micro comes from the “micro adhesive” that is used to attach this product to your instrument.  Micro adhesive sticks securely, but can be removed and re-installed hundreds, even thousands, of times without losing its stick!  That’s because micro adhesive sticks via tiny suction cups instead of sticky tape, so it lasts far longer than ordinary tape based adhesives.  Stick it in place, then remove it.  Over and over.  The Micro is 3″ in diameter, the same dimension as the popular cosmetic sponge used by players for decades.  You won’t need rubber bands with the Micro, however.

What Our Customers Are Saying . . . .

“The GelRest has been the most helpful and reliable of any of the strategies I have tried to decrease the pain and irritation under my jaw.  It seems to have just the right thickness, density, and freedom of placement to provide really great relief from the discomfort I’ve experienced most of my playing career.”

Jonathan Vinocour – Principal Viola, San Francisco Symphony

 

“The GelRest is GREAT! If only it existed years ago when I was playing at the La Scala Opera with their incredible schedule!!! I now play in the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal and I am showing my GelRest to everybody. It is a MUST for anybody on a full professional schedule. Anyone that plays viola (or violin) should try one!”
–Andre Cameron, Professional Violist
