Pros: My son have very long neck; we did try different shoulder rest and chin rest, but he wasn't comfortable. We were advised to buy this shoulder rest for him as last resource and it is great! We did struggle a little bit with setting it up; I've emailed the company and they responded in less then 5 minutes explaining how we need to work it with it. It is very expensive but worth every penny!
Cons: None

Pros: This lightweight rest offers the best comfort of any rest I have tried over many years. The feet are firm but absolutely non slip, the foam pads also prevent slippage. The rest can be bent into shape to fit a variety of shoulder shapes so that the instrument does not keep slipping to the front. The online demonstrations are neccessary and helpful.
Cons: The price! It is quite fiddly to set up the legs and feet but worth the effort.

Pros: I like that it is light and potentially comfortable.
Cons: I find it very difficult to fine tune to my 100% comfort position. I have followed the videos but can't seem to get it right.
Other: I wish I knew of someone else nearby who could help me!
