Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have played the violin for over 18 years. In that time span I have tried almost every shoulder rest on the market. I've used sponges, play-on-airs, Kuns... the works.
Here's the thing with shoulder rests: whether or not they work is totally dependent on the person. What could be the most comfortable shoulder rest in the world for one person could be downright painful for another. I've even known violinists who swear by using no shoulder rest at all. These differences in opinions are based largely on the fact that everyone has a slightly different build and body shape.
So with that in mind, here are the things that I, personally, like about this particular shoulder rest:
-I have found that the Wolf brand tends to be pretty durable. They can definitely take a beating for many years. The padding also does not become unglued from the metal frame. I have found this to be an issue with Kun shoulder rests.
-Wolf actually uses a metal frame. Plastic frames, although cheaper, have a tendency to crack at their stress points.
-Of all the shoulder rests on the market, I find that Wolf is the most adjustable. I have a long neck and very few shoulder rests can give me the kind of length and extension that I require.
-I like the shape of this particular series. The way it wraps around slightly makes for very comfortable playing.
So, again, these are the reason why I like this shoulder rest. I would not recommend this shoulder rest to those who have shorter necks. However, when it comes to shoulder rests, experimentation is key to finding the right fit.
