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.

Pros: None

Other: I bought it for my children and it hurts them. I called the company to see if I can return it to take another make, they were not very helpful as I had thrown the original packaging, which was just clear plastic bag, away.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: I purchased this for my 8 year old daughter as it came highly recommended by her teacher. After struggling for days to adjust it to fit her violin, we gave up and had to return it. Unfortunately, the instruction manual was poorly written and didn't help us very much.

Pros: Very comfortable. Wide range of adjustment to the height on both sides possible. The rubber tipped feet grip and hold the violin with no danger of marking or scratching the varnish.
Cons: Minor quibble: instruction leaflet slightly vague.

Pros: I recommend these to all my students as they can be moulded to fit the player. As well as hight & width adjustment, you can bend the body of the rest to fit comfortably around the shoulder.
Cons: None

Pros: Well padded, so comfortable
Cons: Having ordered this shoulder rest, I find that my existing rest is also a Wolf Forte. I was changing it because the horizontal prong was in danger of scratching my violin. I am unable to get the new rest to fit into my case because the rubber feet make it too long. I used it for a week or so, therefore I didn't feel I could return it, but I have gone back to my old shoulder rest and solved the problem by making it higher.
Other: I'm sure it is a perfectly good product, but if it won't fit in my case it is useless.
