Violin Shoulder Rest for 4/4-3/4 Size, with Collapsible and Height Adjustable Feet, Including a Violin Practice Mute

First off, everything seems decently made. The padding is a stiff foam but perfectly fine for its purpose. It looks nice enough but it's mostly obscured during play. It does add a little weight to the already small instrument. The violin we have is 1/2 size and is mine from childhood (about 35 years old), though it does sound nice, seems decently made, and was well taken care of. My 6-year-old is able to slide this on and off herself. The edge clamps are padded and as long as they are positioned on a wide axis, the slip resistance is perfectly fine. I'm not too worried about it rubbing off the varnish. Even if it does that's an easy and inexpensive fix. Even with the bolts in as deep as they go, it still seems a little high for her (she is 90 plus percentile in height), despite being at the minimum height offset. One of the bolts screwed in with much more difficulty than the other which was a little nerve-wracking because it felt like it could break it any moment. Fortunately it didn't. We tried the sponge first because that's what I used when I played it at her age. It was always uncomfortable, particularly between my shoulder and chin. She didn't seem particularly fond of the sponge so I figured I would try this. So far so good. It definitely helps it sit more comfortably and she hasn't complained about anything.

lightweight. Shipped quickly. Ten dollars. Fits full size violin very easily and well. I got a pouch to carry the shoulder rest separately from the violin, as it doesn't fit inside the case. Easy to reinstall. Takes 30 seconds to set up each practice.

Surprisingly good quality, even came with a rosin. My only issue is that the padding is very stiff and kind of hard; it’s fine for getting the violin to stay in position, but doesn’t make playing anymore comfortable.

Great item easy to install and super sturdy. Has firm foam padding to keep the shoulder happy while playing. High quality for a small price.

This shoulder rest made a big difference for me. It is sturdy easy to keep on the instrument and in the carry case. Fits perfectly in the case. You have to play a little with adjusting it, but doable. Material is solid.

For being a cheap product it does what I need it to do. The parts seem cheaply made and it’s not as comfortable as it could be but for what it does it functions as intended. It’s easy to use and comes in several colors.

Product made my daughter’s instrument stable. Is very portable and adjustable. Made of quality material.

So much better than my previous shoulder rest. Solid; stays in place. May have to bend it slightly to get it to fit. Worth the price.
