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. Supplied with 2 x extension barrels for extra height and rubberised tip to the extension bar for added protection of your instrument.
1/2 & 1/4 Violin 'Standard' model : this cheaper option provides the same popular shoulder rest but without the adjustable, screw legs.

perfect for me
Pros: Soft, compliant and comfortable. Does not move about or fall off like the old one did. I wish I had found it sooner. Makes playing a pleasure as it doesn't dig into my chest.
Cons: None really - maybe the instructions could be clearer on how to assemble it.

found the following review helpful
Pros: Upgrade from Wolf Forte Primo on teacher's recommendation: its curved shape helps against slouching. Indeed the Secondo is much more comfortable.
Cons: Nothing I can think of.
Other: Well made, fast delivery and excellent compact packaging (it actually fit through the letterbox!)

Excellent all round shoulder rest
Pros: Simplicity and comfort
Cons: None
Other: Bought this for my son as he moved up from a 1/2 to 3/4 sidze violin before taking his Grade 4 exam. Had the smaller size Secondo rest on the previous violin and didn't even consider using a different model on the 3/4
