Still 'just the 'ommer'

Pros: Suits me - a tall male - very well.
Cons: No dislikes
Other: It was necessary to modify he rest to miss the tailpiece. 80 grit paper and a child's rolling pin did the job after a time!

Pros: An ideal chin rest if you want to bring your violin into a more central position and have a better view of the finger board. Good quality and nice tone of wood. Very pleased with the product.
Cons: Nothing.

Comfortable, works well - but may need trimming

Pros: It's comfortable and places my chin centrally without damping the tail piece.
Cons: I had to trim the inside of the arch with sandpaper to make it fit my fiddle without rubbing against the tailpiece. My violin does not have a high arched top, so many people will find this minor problem.

Good, but not trouble-free.

Pros: * Good looking * Very comfortable (once fitted)
Cons: It had to be physically altered in order to make it fit on my instrument, the mounting legs of the chin-rest was not wide enough to fit over the saddle. The area underneath the chin-rest also had to be filed out in order to clear the tail-piece.

Good position - stability with flexibility.

Pros: I do like this rest for Folk fiddle - it is giving me stability and a good position without locking me in. In conjunction with a low shoulder rest (VLM Diamond), I can maintain contact with the collar bone.
Cons: It doesn't suit all tailpieces/set-ups. On one fiddle it fitted without touching. On the other (with identical tailpiece), I had to modify the 'tunnel' to be able to fit the rest cleanly. Worth doing, though, if you can.
Other: Service excellent as usual.
