3D computer modelled design of the Everest shoulder rest raises the instrument to an ergonomically correct and comfortable playing angle. High grade ABS for extra strength and flexibility. Virtually unbreakable. Improved neoprene foam material and adhesive for durability. Ergonomically engineered fixed tilt with adjustable width and height. Increased curvature for high comfort. No skid and wear resistant. A popular choice for students.

Good, solid rest and more comfortable than Wolf.
Pros: Easy to adjust. Comfortable when positioned correctly. Better than Wolf equivalent whose exposed screws I didn't like.
Cons: Brackets are quite stiff to adjust and, like many other shoulder rests, quite chunky so difficult to fit into my slip case.
Other: The 4/4 setting was far too wide for my normal sized fiddle - but great to have option of notching down to 3/4 width. I think that may partly be the small width of the bottom of my instrument.

Excellent product and excellent value
Pros: This is a splendidly useable shoulder rest and puts others to shame as far as price goes. It's sturdy and comfortable and will fit into a decent-sized case without difficulty. For me, the most comfortable rest is a Bonmusica - about three times the price and less practical, but very nice to use - but the Everest is not far behind.
Cons: Nothing at all.

Very good for some people.
Pros: A very well made product, and comfortable in use.
Cons: The rest is fixed and doesn't swivel to accommodate your individual shape.
Other: Because it is fixed it kept being pushed off forwards by the point of my shoulder. I have to give it 1 star for this reason. If it happens to fit, it is excellent.

Does what it says on the tin
Pros: Sits securely on the fiddle and doesn't seem to be at any risk of either falling off or leaving marks. The shoulder rest is easy to adjust, although I've had to fiddle for quite a long time to get it right. It is quite comfortable and the foam backing clings nicely to your clothing.
Cons: None so far

Godd value and well made.
Pros: It's firm and sits well on my shoulder. It is good value - in that it is well made. The design (there is a slight whist in the length to angle the violin correctly) is good.
Cons: Nothing to dislike. I have ordered the extension so the right side of the violin when on my shoulder is higher.
Other: I might try the Wolf Forte Secondo because you can really 'fit' this to your shoulder.
