Great if you need extra height.
Pros: It was comfortable but as I had added a high chin piece, I went back to my kun I found the kum gripped better and with the extra height, I didn’t need to change my shoulder rest as well. It is great if you need loads of height and have a long neck.
Cons: Not as comfortable or grippy as my kun.

Great value with amazing adjustability.
Pros: The huge range of height adjustments have made a big difference and I have now finally found a great well supported position that keeps my violin level. This really helps a beginner who is trying to bow and stay on the sound point while reading the sheet music rather than drift over the finger board due to a downward tipped violin.
Cons: The shoulder rest can pop off more easily at high extensions as the grip at the feet is reduced.
Other: It's a great product that does exactly what I needed it to and I saved money by coming to String Zone. The service was excellent.

Good, but leaves marks on my shirts
Pros: Have used these for a long time. Good fit with plenty of adjustments
Cons: My latest one seems to have a foam rubber pad of different quality or appearance. It tends to leave dark marks on my shirts, which hasn't happened with previous Wolf rests, except when they are old and the rubber starts to come off. I have written to Wolf about this to ask for their comments.
