Comfortable shoulder rest at low price.
2 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: I've used Resonans violin rests for fifty years. They are simple but adjustable by virtue of brass legs and I find them perfectly comfortable. It is astonishing that they are available for so little money.

Cons: The replacement rubber feet are a shocking price and there are much cheaper sources, they are just rubber tubing. The joints do come loose after a few years but a judicious tap with a hammer tightens them again.

Other: I should have bought, and can still afford to buy, the taller model for this viola.

Comfortable practical shoulder rest

Pros: This is a good practical shoulder rest and it fits my (16") viola without coming off all the time. Weight is comfortably spread across the shoulder.

Cons: I should have ordered the medium height.

Secure and bendable

Pros: I liked that it was bendable, it stayed on securely.

Cons: I didn't dislike it, it just wasn't for me (I own most standard shoulder rests and thought I'd give this one s try).

Other: It was fine, just not for me! Glad I tried it though!

Not for everyone.
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: Easy to alter for instrument size.

Cons: I do a lot of orchestral play and this shoulder rest made it painful to play for long periods of time.

Other: I don't know whether there is something wrong with my shoulder rest but I had to get a different one as it made me play worse. Just know that there may be a possibility of this happening.
