Kun Collapsible Viola Shoulder Rest, Standard 15+ Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was not impressed with the poor directions that came with this shoulder rest. Furthermore, it tends to slide off the instrument much more easily than I expected. My daughter is still using it, but I expected a better product; I suppose it is a better deal and less expensive than the fabric slip-on Shoulder rests that cost 35.00 !

Adjustable Maple Viola Shoulder Rest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this shoulder rest about three months ago and it is pretty good. The wood build is very sturdy and has a nice look and feel to it. I have gotten many compliments on how nice and elegant my shoulder rest looks. The price was also very good considering it was made with real wood. The only cons for this item is that it is curved toward you, so it is aimed at people with broader shoulders, unlike myself (I am only 5' 3"). There is also a lack of padding as the padding on the item is cheap and not comfortable.The gold letters on the back also peel a little, but that didn't concern me.
Over all, I like this product but it is more for bigger people.

Generic Poehland Shoulder Pad Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was really looking forward to getting this, such a big dissapointment! It tilts the Fiddle to a really odd angle and if you play anything faster like a jig, reel or polka (I play Irish fiddle music) it falls off. And its really uncomfortable, way to hard.

Wolf Shoulder Rest Replacement Parts: Rubber Tips (4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are really good, tough and long-lasting rubberized sleeves to fit over the feet of your Wolf or Wolf-style violin or viola shoulder rest. They go on easily, with a little dish-washing detergent. You trim off any overhang. If you have a Wolf-style shoulder rest, you will eventually need these. Mine lasted for 18 months before the first one needed to be replaced.

Bon Musica Violin Shoulder Rest, 4/4 Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)At a price of around $50, and Made in Germany on the label, one might expect good quality and effective performance from this shoulder rest. It gave me neither. I bought it because the description promised one could make customized adjustments by bending it to a perfect fit. However, the instructions that came with it were very limited, and I was left to trial and error to get it to fit. I struggled with it for two months! The idea is good, but without better instructions, it was impossible to get it right. Worse yet, because I was bending it so often to try to get it to fit, the metal around the center grommets pulled loose and the shoulder rest became unstable and useless. When I reported this to the seller and asked for a refund or credit, they sent me a curt email saying they would not accept a return since the product was no longer in new condition and more than 30 days had passed since I bought it. Save half your money and buy a Kun shoulder rest. This one is poor quality and doesn't work.Bon Musica 4/4 Violin Shoulder RestBon Musica 3/4 Violin Shoulder RestBon Musica Violin Shoulder Rest, 4/4 SizeKun Collapsible Violin Shoulder Rest, 4/4 Black

Barcelona Orchestra Approved 5 Series 1/2 Size Student Violin with Case and Accessories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the violin for my son. When it arrive, the wooden bridge piece was not installed. I am not a musician so I had to figure out how to install the bridge. It won't stay upright with the pressure from the string. Maybe the bright is too narrow. A slight movement of string will knock it down. I couldn't get the bright piece to stay upright for an hour of trying with the string pressure and I finally gave up. I finally put some glue on the bottom of the bridge and able to hold it down. However, the music teacher told my son that is a no-no. You cannot glue the bridge piece. Barcelon should pre-install the bridge to reduce such a problem. I am not sure even the music teacher can make the bridge stay without glue. The violin is otherwise a decent quality and the case is nice.

Muco Model Shoulder Rest for 1/2 Violin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this for my 9 year old to use. It fits the violin well and seems very stable. It is hard, however, for him to put it on himself. It really takes some effort to pull the feet around the edge of the violin. Perhaps it will get easier with time and use, but it is not as nice as the Kun we were replacing. If I did it again, I would buy another Kun.

Resonans 4/4 Violin Shoulder Rest: Low Profile Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the worst violin shoulder rests ever. My students who come in with this shoulder rest hate it. It always falls off the violin and we spend half the lesson picking it up off the floor. Sure it's cheap, but you will either hate your practice time and put up with it, or you will immediately purchase a more expensive and higher quality shoulder rest. Save yourself the step and buy a Kun, Wolf, or Bon Musica shoulder rest instead. It's best to try it in a store so you can see how it feels with your unique body shape and then shop around online for the best price.

Foam Shoulder Rest for 4/4 Violin - Firm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Probably good fit for an adult, but something like this is usually more for a beginning student (typically children). I had to spend a lot of time modifying this to fit my 7 year old student who had managed to break/lose 2 other more expensive shoulder rests. I will be going a different direction in the future. At least it didn't cost much to try.

Mach One 3/4-4/4 Violin Maple Wood Shoulder Rest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This shoulder rest took a little getting used to. It wasn't quite as comfortable as I thought it would be. It does look nice though. I also prefer a shoulder rest that is a little higher (although this one does adjust). I wish it came with instructions labeling how to put it together, and what to do for certain variations (like height and size). I do like it now after I've used it for several months, but I don't know that I would buy this brand again.

Kun Voce Violin Shoulder Rest, 4/4-3/4 Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Compared to most shoulder rests this one seems ridiculously over priced. However, as I have found over the last month of daily use it is worth the extra money. Yes, it is a neat thing that it is made from lightweight and highly durable carbon fiber but quite honestly the real advantage with this shoulder rest is it's adjustability to your own anatomy and playing style. With most other shoulder rests there is only one way to put them on the violin and to have it rest on your shoulder. This one permits you to adjust the positioning of the shoulder rest on the violin and thus the position of the violin relative to the player. It is well made with durable soft plastic feet that shouldn't dry out and crack. Unlike other shoulder rests which only offer three holes on each side you can adjust the width of the feet in a continuous manner with clamps. Initially I had to play around with the shoulder rest to find the optimal position but once that was found I was able to play without even noticing it and missing my old shoulder rest. There are a few downsides with this shoulder rest. The first there are no directions so as far as adjusting it and finding the most comfortable position you are on your own. The second is the price but a little shopping around you can generally find it less than the list price.

The Voce represents a revolution in shoulder rest design.The choice of carbon fiber for the base enhances its acoustic and resonance properties, which are equal to or better than natural wood.

Glaesel Cleaner/Polish For Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass 2-Oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this polish when I first started the violin and being, well, stupid, I used way too much polish than necessary. Later I found out you only need about one drop for the whole body. It lasted me (including when I used to use overkill amount) one year using it usually once a week and I still have some left. I think it is worth the buy and the price is reasonable. I hope that this helped you.
