May Sales Special: After last month's chinrest special, we at Givens Violins thought, "What better way could there be to follow up a chinrest month than with a shoulder rest month!" During the month of May, we will have all of our shoulder rests on display for you to come in, try out on the spot and take 15% off. Whether you are looking for simplicity and functionality or comfort and stability, we have every shoulder rest you could imagine and more.

Givens Violins on Facebook Givens Violins is now on facebook and we would be delighted if you would become our fan.
