A great shoulder rest
8 out of 8 found the following review helpful

Pros: Really comfortable, more open sound and best of all can be positioned to suit different shoulder shapes and sizes.

Cons: I could do with the higher version but didn't realise it came in different heights until I saw a colleagues. Will probably lose stickiness over time, so not very sustainable. Children could use elastic bands to improve longevity.

Thickness is its strong point

Pros: Thickness — potentially a very useful alternative to the thin metal cross-rests

Cons: I think it needs rubber bands to make it more secure
