Simple, neat fitting shoulder rest

Pros: For my sons violin. Just moved from 1/2 to 3/4 and fits both beautifully. Doesn't damage the edges and very secure

Cons: None

Other: Far better than our original rest

Advantages of the Everest shoulder rest.

Pros: I have only been playing for a few months and the everest shoulder rest has really helped. It is quick and easy to fit. The rest puts the violin in the most comfortable position for playing. I managed to play for twice as long before felling stressed and needing a rest. I would recommend it to anyone, it will make playing more comfortable and pleasurable.

Cons: No cons, they are amazing!

Great shoulder rest - wish it fitted 1/16 size

Pros: Adjustable height and in due course the size.

Cons: The fact that the 1/10 - 1/4 size doesn't fit onto a 1/16 size, so we also have to use rubber bands.

Good simple design but check the fit.

Pros: A good simple design, the fewer parts there are the less to go wrong. The grips do grip well and the shape fits the shoulder, however....

Cons: It fits the shoulder provided the user is young, slim and supple. Alas I am none of these and my head would have to have been at an impossible angle (for me).

Other: Not wanting to be beaten I made a small extension bracket which allows one of the grips to be moved and the shoulder rest then moved away from the shoulder and become more of a 'chest rest'. It works and I'm happy.

Excellent

Pros: excellent. best shoulder rest i have ever tried, and I have tried lots! Used Wolf for ages, but got fed up of it rolling itself off, and the feet perishing. Then used Kun - expensive and not very comfy. Then found this - stays on, fits well, very good playing position, love it! Amazing price.

Cons: nothing

A Top Class Rest! It really does the job.

Pros: Like yourself I have tried many, many different shoulder rests for the fiddle and my favourite was the Air Pad until my brother Bill (also a fiddler) visited me and showed his latest "Best Buy"- the Everest rest. I don't know what makes it so comfortable but almost right away I was a better fiddler... more confident, more at ease, and ready to reel! Great price as well.. you owe it to yourself to try it out-- perhaps it will also be your "Best Buy"...

Cons: No cons

Other: It is slightly adjustable and of course you can vary the angle you place it on your fiddle. Make sure you get it the right way around--- I actually had to check out the website to make sure... but that's just me.
