Abstract

Omuzluk, keman ve viyola gibi üst vücutta tutularak icra edilen yaylı enstrümanlarda enstrümanın altına omuz yüksekliğini eklemek, sol omzun kaldırılmasını engellemek ve performans sırasında enstrümanın kaymasını önlemek amacıyla kemancıya daha rahat bir vücut duruşu sağlamak için kullanılır. Bu çalışmada omuzluğun ne amaçla kullanılması gerektiği ile ilgili genel bilgi verebilmek hedeflenmiştir. Yapılan literatür taraması kapsamında kaynakların omuzlukla ilgili görüşleri üç kategoride incelenmiştir. Omuzluk kullanılmadığında özellikle uzun boyunlu kemancılarda keman tutuşunun nasıl sağlandığı ve enstrümana gerekenden fazla yükseklik oluşturma amaçlı kullanıldığında omuzluk kullanmanın olumsuz etkileri ortaya konmuştur. Doğru amaç ile kullanıldığında omuzluğun olası kas-iskelet sakatlanmalarının önüne geçtiği belirlenmiştir. Tüm bu bulgular ışığında yumuşak ya da sert omuzluk kullanımında tamamen kişinin bireysel anatomik özelliklerinin belirleyici olması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

ADAPTATION OF SHOULDER REST USE ACCORDING TO PERSON

Abstract

Shoulder rest is an accessory, which could be attached to instruments such as violin and viola to add height to the shoulder, to avoid elevating left shoulder, to prevent the instrument from slipping during the performance and to provide a more relaxed body posture. The aim of this study is to give general information about the purpose of using shoulder rest. Within the scope of literature review, the opinions of the sources on the shoulder rest were examined in three categories. It has been described, how to get hold of the violin by the long-necked players, when the shoulder rest is not used and it has been put forth the negative effects of using shoulder rest, when the shoulder rest is used to create excessive height. It has been determined that when used correctly, the shoulder rest avoids possible musculoskeletal injuries. According to all these findings, it has been concluded that individual anatomical characteristics must determine the use of soft or hard shoulder rest.
