The highs and lows

Pros: It is a very well made shoulder rest

Cons: Even at its lowest setting it was too high for me

Other: The 3 star rating is only because it doesn't suit me personally

A Revelation!

Pros: Versatile, flexible, extremely easy to customise and attach and remove. Really well designed and manufactured. In a different class from the one I had previously (a Kun) which cost more!

Cons: Nothing

Recommended to me by my music teacher.

Pros: Easy to use with the video help. Initially, I was worried I'd twist or break the rest whilst putting it onto position but the video clip sorted that out.

Cons: So far, nothing. It's all good

Adaptable

Pros: It is possible to shape the shoulder rest to fit the contours of your own body for comfort

Cons: None

Other: like all shoulder pads with grippers, they sometimes shift position or fall off. An elastic band is useful.

A very flexible and effective shoulder rest

Pros: The flexibility of forming the rest - in particular the fact that it can be bent and that the height adjustments are considerable.

Cons: The rubber covers that grip the violin seem to me as though they would perish over time and need replacing.

Top quality, lifetime shoulder rest.
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: This was purchased for an adult pupil who wanted me to order it for him. I've had the same wolf shoulder rest for the last 30 years - it's still going strong. Just renew the rubber feet every couple of years.

Cons: There's absolutely nothing not to like. They're very adjustable, and it'll probably outlive me!

Good rest, unless you have a screw loose...!
1 out of 2 found the following review helpful

Pros: Bought this to replace an old, worn out, but otherwise identical rest that I'd used for many years... Can't believe I waited so long! So much more padding- I'm back to using it on it's minimum setting. V pleased.

Cons: One of the screws was loose & rattling. When I tightened it, the screw head came off! Seems to be holding together fine tho. Hopefully this will last as long as the old one did!
