Finally a comfortable shoulder rest
0 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: Adaptable, flexible, kind to the violin.

Cons: Await to see how long the foam lasts. I was expecting something a little thicker but it is v comfortable nonetheless

Other: I tried a primo some years ago and hated it and returned it and I used an everest instead. I still use the everest for one of my fiddles that is quite slim on the lower bout. I got a new violin last year which is now my ‘posh’ violin and struggled to find a shoulder rest that I was confident wouldn’t scratch it. I saw that this secondo forte model had angle adjustable legs and also that the bolt didn’t seem like it would damage the instrument on taking it on and off. I am really pleased with it. It has adjusted perfectly and I now feel like I am getting the most out of the instrument. The only reason it is not a 5/5 for me is because I would have liked a slightly thicker foam pad and that like all rests it falls ofd occasionally. I am hard to please so take this as a very positive review.

Pros: Easy to fit and well made.

Cons: Not the most comfortable for me but human anatomy is variable, a similar rest on my viola is more comfortable.

Couldn't get it to fit violin!
0 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I purchased this for my 8 year old daughter as it came highly recommended by her teacher. After struggling for days to adjust it to fit her violin, we gave up and had to return it. Unfortunately, the instruction manual was poorly written and didn't help us very much.

Great, well made shoulder rest
0 out of 1 found the following review helpful

Pros: Very comfortable. Wide range of adjustment to the height on both sides possible. The rubber tipped feet grip and hold the violin with no danger of marking or scratching the varnish.

Cons: Minor quibble: instruction leaflet slightly vague.
