Description
Versatile shoulder rest with flexible metal base which can been bent to the required shape. Available in five sizes. This rest can be customised to a very high level and is ideal for players who feel their instrument can slip down, especially in the higher playing positions. The hook can be moved to provide a good anchorage at the preferred playing position. Height and tilt in two planes combined with a bendable plate allow an almost infinite range and will enable the vast majority of players to achieve a comfortable playing experience.
Available in nine different sizes. Measure the viola at the mounting point to ascertain size required - usually the widest point of the lower bouts. Please note the back length shown is for guidance only. Please rely on the width measurement first.
Specifications
- Unique ergonomic design.
- 9 sizes to suit all violas

Pros: The hook shape allows less chin pressure and relieves tension on posterior neck muscles. No more stiff necks!
Cons: Unable to carry it in instrument case but this is a small price to pay.

Pros: Supported and redistributed the weight of my viola really well. Very comfortable and adjustable to exactly the right angle to suit me. Fantastic for encouraging good playing posture.
Cons: Takes longer to put the instrument down & pick up again during rests!
Other: The day I got this, I took it to a 10 day workshop where I was playing approx. 6 hrs or so per day. Usually I feel like my arms are going to drop off by the end, but the Bon Musica made such a difference that I didn't feel any stiffness or pain at all. I even went to a quartet rehearsal the next day!

Pros: I like the Bonmusica because it is so comfortable and adaptable on the shoulder - the most comfortable and supportive rest I know.
Cons: The case need to be very spacious for this rest to fit in it - mine is, and that's OK, but I have to keep my Bonmusica violin rest out of the case. I still like them best, though!

Tricky to set up but worth it.
Pros: Now that I have set it up, I'm very pleased with it.
Cons: I found setting it up quite a trial and a bit fiddly but put this down to the fact that, as it is so adjustable and versatile in its design, this is a necessary step to have to go through.

Amazing shoulder rest. Worth every penny.
Pros: This was a purchase for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. She has very slender shoulders and longish neck and struggled with her old shoulder rest to keep her 16” viola up. This is great solution.
Cons: None
Other: Fast delivery. Great service.
