Wolf Superflexible Full-Size Violin - Viola Shoulder Rest Review

Wolf Superflexible Full-Size Violin - Viola Shoulder Rest
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have played violin/fiddle for 22 years. This is the BEST shoulder rest I have ever played on. In fact, I won't use anything else. I've tried a lot of stuff out there, too. It doesn't matter what you're shaped like, this rest is so versatile it will fit anybody and it's VERY comfortable. Plus, the tension bar makes this rest fit any violin or viola without actually having to reposition the rest so it doesn't fall off or be uncomfortable in the adjustment. These are also quite durable and last a very long time.

With a wide rubber-padded bar, the Wolf Superflexible is as comfortable as it is flexible. The metal backing can be bent for individual shaping, the legs have 2 height adjustments and it is angle adjustable making this rest totally customizable for every individual. No neck is too long for this rest! This great shoulder rest fits 3/4-4/4 Violins and All-Size Violas.

Fishman Classic Series V-100 Violin Pickup Review

Fishman Classic Series V-100 Violin Pickup
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I agree that attaching this type of pickup is awkward at best, but the quality of the sound is excellent for a pickup at this price (you really need a high quality microphone for true sound reproduction, which has its own issues). This price is very reasonable, but if you want to spend a little more Fishman also makes a model with a clamp-on 1/4" jack that I imagine is much easier to use.

Andrea Violin Solo Rosin Review

Andrea Violin Solo Rosin
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While I haven't really had a whole lot of experience trying out other rosins, I've usually been of the opinion that it didn't really matter what rosin you used, as long as it's sticky. I didn't really know that rosin could be effective. Then a stand partner told me that this was the only rosin she ever used, so I figured "Well, hey, if it's just average rosin, I'll still have an average rosin cake that'll last forever."
So I ordered it, got it about a week earlier than advertised. (The box arrived before I got the e-mail saying it'd shipped.)
Needless to say, I use it on all of my bows now. It works particularly well on Incredibows (if you know what those are), which is what I use most of the time. I imagine it would work very well with other types of synthetic bows. It is also very effective - I remember in middle school when I'd have to spend a solid five minutes getting rosin on my bow - Andrea rosin will "stickify" your bow in one or two sweeps. I've also noticed a distinct decrease in E-string squeaks since I started using it.

Strad Rosin for Violin and Viola Review

Strad Rosin for Violin and Viola
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got these in cello and violin versions for my sons as they started learning violin and cello. Neither kid is terribly artsy or in to material things, but they seem to "get" that we wanted to give them a little something special and I think they'll try to keep these throughout their lives. The burling is very pretty and the box is well-finished. None of us here can provide expert comment on the rosin, but it does seem to work just fine on their student-level instruments.

Handcrafted from root of tuja wood, with the precise, to-scale shape of Stradivarius's famed interior form. This box contains Bogaro & Clemente's own high-quality rosin, which is based on an old Italian recipe.

Players Economy Foam Violin Shoulder Pad; 3/4-1/2 Violin Review

Players Economy Foam Violin Shoulder Pad; 3/4-1/2 Violin
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I needed something for my 7 year old. Regular KUN shoulder rest was too much for her, so I needed something thinner, smaller, possibly something we can leave attached to violin without taking it on and off each time she uses the violin. I've seen these foam pads used with Suzuki method and decided to try. Bought this one. It is really useless. It collapses to nothing. Foam is just too soft. The only thing it does is helps with traction, so the violin isn't so slippery on the shoulder. Any piece of cloth attached with rubber band would do the same thing.
I guess you get what you paid for and for $1.80 we didn't loose much. However, I think I will just look for a stronger piece of sponge at craft store and not buy another brand online. I can at least feel it and cut it just the right size.
Can't wait for my daughter to use a regular, nice shoulder rest.

My daughter has a 1/4 size violin and this shoulder rest fits both her and the violin perfectly. The color is nice, though no one will ever really notice it as it stays in the shadow of the violin.

The RT16 is a perfectly formed travel sized dreadnought. Compact, yet plays just like a full size acoustic and constructed using many of the same components and techniques used in building our higher end instruments. It's sounds and plays great and is made for anyone going on a journey, sitting around the campfire, the younger player or even just to have around the house as it's so nice to pick up and play. It also comes with an Alvarez padded gig bag.
