Description

The Bonmusica violin shoulder rest. Pliable metal base allows for a high degree of custom fit.

The hook can be moved to provide a good anchorage at the prefered playing position. Height and tilt in 2 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.

Secure at last!

Pros: It is adjustable to just about any position. It helps to keep the violin stable without much slipping, very important to a beginner! It also is very light weight. After trying other makes. this is by far the best.

Cons: It is expensive compared to other makes.

Works for me.

Pros: I have been trying to work without a rest but found that I am unable to free up the fingers of the left hand so I tried one rest which did not work then I spied this one online and , though it is taking time to work into the different placing of the violin it is definitely freeing up my left hand Many thanks.

Cons: There is nothing that so far I have not liked unless you would provide a fitting service!!!! The instructions are adequate to the task.

A great shoulder rest helps me to keep playing.

Pros: This is a really great product, being able to fit the rest to my shoulder and reduce the angle and pressure on my neck (I have arthritis) is absolutely brilliant. The added bonus was, for me, that the framework of rest seems to produce a far better tone for me to listen and play.

Cons: I haven't, as yet, found any negative points.

A little more money- for a lot more!

Pros: As a beginner, it's difficult to know what 'right' is supposed to feel like- does it feel awkward because it is, or is it perhaps set up wrongly? Am I supposed to 'get used to it'- or change it? If the more standard shoulder rest feels wrong for you- do yourself a big favour! Change it! This piece of kit is brilliant! Do not put up with discomfort- you will never get used it- and you will practice less. The Bonmusica is money well spent. Yes, it is more costly than the cheaper rests- for a very good reason- it works! The build quality is excellent- well designed, you will find the right fit. Highly recommended.

Cons: It's a bit fiddly (pun intended!). But don't let that put you off- it should take you no more than half an hour to figure it out and fit it. And it is well worth the effort- I'm an engineer, but if your not confident with nuts and bolts and stuff, get a friend to hold the violin whilst you make the minor adjustments.

Great product and great service from string zone

Pros: I liked the way that it hooked over your shoulder and could be formed to fit the contours of your individual body shape. I found it the most comfortable and secure shoulder rest that I have ever had, leaving your left hand free to concentrate on playing ,not supporting the instrument.

Cons: I liked everything about it.

Other: I have bought one for my viola and wouldn't be without them. A little more pricey then others I have had but well worth the price.

Comfortable shoulder rest...worth buying.

Pros: Much more comfortable than any other shoulder rest I've tried - much more adjustments possible to get it to fit over your shoulder properly....would recommend.

Cons: A little tight fitting across the violin and will not go back as far as I would like, but it hasn't been a big problem.
