Universally popular violin shoulder rest. Curved shape, height adjustable on both sides from 0.5cm to 8cm. The first choice of many players for over 40 years. Wide variation in fit from flexible base plate, compound leg bolt for maximum height adjustment. Folding legs. Supplied with 2 x extension barrels for extra height and rubberised tip to the extension bar for added protection of your instrument.
1/2 & 1/4 Violin 'Standard' model : this cheaper option provides the same popular shoulder rest but without the adjustable, screw legs.

Good, but leaves marks on my shirts
Pros: Have used these for a long time. Good fit with plenty of adjustments
Cons: My latest one seems to have a foam rubber pad of different quality or appearance. It tends to leave dark marks on my shirts, which hasn't happened with previous Wolf rests, except when they are old and the rubber starts to come off. I have written to Wolf about this to ask for their comments.

Cheapest fully adjustable SR you can find
Pros: Fully adjustable, you can literally change anything. You do not have to buy extra long foot like the other brands.
Cons: Because it is highly adjustable, you can accidentally change its shape, you need to have enough strong hands to warp it.
Other: It seems that the rubber foot is consumable which needs to be changed every one or two years
