Universally popular violin shoulder rest. Curved shape, height adjustable on both sides from 0.5cm to 8cm. The first choice of many players for over 40 years. Wide variation in fit from flexible base plate, compound leg bolt for maximum height adjustment. Folding legs.
1/2 & 1/4 Violin 'Standard' model : this cheaper option provides the same popular shoulder rest but without the adjustable, screw legs.

A very flexible and effective shoulder rest
Pros: The flexibility of forming the rest - in particular the fact that it can be bent and that the height adjustments are considerable.
Cons: The rubber covers that grip the violin seem to me as though they would perish over time and need replacing.

Pros: This was purchased for an adult pupil who wanted me to order it for him. I've had the same wolf shoulder rest for the last 30 years - it's still going strong. Just renew the rubber feet every couple of years.
Cons: There's absolutely nothing not to like. They're very adjustable, and it'll probably outlive me!

Pros: Bought this to replace an old, worn out, but otherwise identical rest that I'd used for many years... Can't believe I waited so long! So much more padding- I'm back to using it on it's minimum setting. V pleased.
Cons: One of the screws was loose & rattling. When I tightened it, the screw head came off! Seems to be holding together fine tho. Hopefully this will last as long as the old one did!
