For 3/4 and full size violin. Universally popular shoulder rest. The metal base allows the rest to be bent to shape as required. The Wolf Primo Violin Shoulder Rest comes with two telescopic screws on either side and can be adjusted to any height between 0.5mm and 8cm.

Finally a comfortable shoulder rest
Pros: Our teacher recommended this particular model for my tall slim build 9 year old as we found other rests slipped. My son has a 3/4 size violin. He found it easy to set up and his teacher also bent the rest for a perfect fit.
Cons: None

Longtime customer
Pros: I have been using Wolf Forte Primo rests for over 30 years. This is the 3rd one I have bought - not as a replacement but because some perfomances require me to play 2 violins with no opportunity to swap rests. Of all the rests on the market, Wolf has the highest adjustment that I have found.
Cons: As I move a lot whilst playing, the reat sometimes comes away from the instrument. The addition of a band of hook & look around the posts has cured the problem.

Great shoulder rest if you have a long neck
Pros: I needed a rest that would adjust quite high as I have a long neck and despite trying a number of other types none of them gave me much comfort when playing. The improvement in comfort for me was immediate, being able to practice for longer stretches without neck strain is great.
Cons: The fit on the fiddle can feel a little loose although it does not fall off.
