At just the reight height, width, and angle, Dr. Arm mandolin armrest put my wrist in the perfect position for effortless playing. Besides the excellent fit and finish, Dr. Arm mandolin armrests are longer than other brands, which makes them super comfortable from E string to G. With lots of color options available, I was able to find armrests that look great on both of my Pava mandolins. I highly recommend Dr. Arm mandolin armrests for comfort, looks, and ease of playing.

I am so proud to endorse Dr. Arm by Banjolit. This product has been a complete game changer for me & I love it! There are several reasons why I love this product so much! First, with the traditional metal armrest, I developed a divot in my arm where my arm rested on the armrest for many years. Dr. Arm is so smooth and very comfortable, I don’t feel that anymore. Also, being a bluegrass musician, I’m playing a lot of outdoor music festivals where it’s very hot. With Dr. Arm, my arm doesn’t stick to the armrest. Also, I used to get a rash when my arm would sweat. I didn’t realize I had developed a nickel allergy over the years. With this armrest, that has also gone away. This product is amazing & I am going to get one for every banjo I own. You should too!

The Dr. Arm armrest feels great, looks great, and in my case (I’m allergic to nickel) it’s truly just what the doctor ordered! Thank you Banjolit for making such a great product.

Caring for Dr. Arm Armrest

Our Dr. Arm armrests are crafted from a variety of wood types, including Mahogany, Maple, Walnut, Ebony and more. Since wood is a natural material, it may react to use and changes in weather conditions.

We take great care in the production and finishing process to minimize any potential defects. We use a special natural wax oil finish, but in rare cases, the armrest may lose its smooth feel, especially if exposed to aggressive perspiration.

To maintain the quality and longevity of your armrest, we recommend cleaning it with a dry cotton cloth after each use.

If needed, you can use our Maintenance Kit to refinish the armrest yourself

The kit includes 5ml of natural wax oil and the appropriate grade of sandpaper.

    “As a professional mandolin player for a few years now I have tried nearly every brand and shape of armrest available. I’m so happy to say that finally the search is over! The Dr. Arm Mandolin Armrest from Banjolit is the best one available. Besides providing unparalleled comfort, the higher profile gives perfect wrist placement for a relaxed right hand.”

    “I went ahead and installed the armrest, and WOW!  While I initially thought it was too light, now I find that the light portion of the armrest beautifully accents the engraving on the headstock, while the darkest parts do nearly match the brown pot and neck.  The comfort level is amazing.  I am very pleased.  I have included a photo of the mounted armrest. Best Wishes.”

    “This is my brand new Deering Eagle II with Maple Black custom armrest. I also have a Maple custom armrest on my longneck banjo. I cannot go back to another type of armrest. I don't feel it when playing. It is just there doing what it is supposed to do. Banjo greetings.”
