Bon Musica 4/4 Violin Shoulder Rest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a beginning adult violinist. I purchased this shoulder rest to find a comfortable fit for my violin, shoulder, and chin, after several attempts with standard shoulder rests. It is an amazing piece of equipment. It can be adjusted in numerous ways to achieve a customized fit. The extended, curved, left end can be bent to fit the violinist's shoulder and prevent the instrument from sliding off without requiring extensive down pressure from the chin. It is a little more expense than other standard shoulder rests, but it is definitely worth the price. I recommend this shoulder rest to any beginner who may be having trouble achieving a comfortable, relaxed bond with your violin.

Cecilio CEVN-1BL 4/4 Full Size Electric Silent Violin w/ Solidwood Ebony Fitted in Blue Metallic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this violin so I could practice quietly in my new apartment, since I have neighbors on both sides. It does the trick! I would never use it for performance, simply because the sound quality isn't awesome, but it is perfect or practicing. The headphones are absolute junk, so I don't use those, but I use my bose headphones. The strings understandably stretched quite a bit at first, so it was hard to keep it in tune, but after about 3 days, we were good to go with just minor adjustments. I like the fact that I can use my regular shoulder rest with it. My fingers did turn a little black from the fingerboard or strings at first, but that is minor and didn't last. Overall, I feel that I got quite a bargain, but again, it is perfect for practice but not at all a performance instrument.

Kun Original Junior Shoulder Rest for 1/2 - 3/4 Violin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I switched to this shoulder rest from a very basic one and count this as a good upgrade from your very standard "padded bar". It is very comfortable and I do not have any issues with it falling off of the instrument as I did my previous rest.
The arms that attach to the instrument itself have a little notch in them to avoid it from falling off and it is rubberized so it doesn't move around once you get it on there snuggly.
It dips nicely in the middle to make a minimal gap between you and the instrument so your neck is not put at an awkward angle and is very comfortably padded.

JSI Special 4/4 Violin String Set: Gold Label Loop-End E & Dominant A, D, and G Strings - Medium Gauge Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When my "A" string broke I decided I had enough with crappy strings (the violin was a gift so I have no idea what brand of strings was used before I took ownership of it) and decided to try this set. I have stretched them for days now as recommended and although it is a vast improvement from the last set I had, the Pirastro ended up being the star of the show. The other 3 strings (Dominants) sound a bit dull as opposed to bright and full of color like the "E" string. I'll see how it all plays out, no pun intended and will keep posting updates on this review. But as for now, I'm leaning towards getting the entire Pirastro set next time.

(More customer reviews)The fiddle we purchased is beautiful and sounds great. My only concern is that I reutrned the warranty card and the post office returned it to me as undeliverable.Spending this much money should not leave me feeling vulnerable and not knowing where to turn if we have problems with the fiddle.
