I would not re-buy this
Olivier de Lame 09.06.2018
Simply for me it does not do the job. I used if for a while, then I tried to "adapt" it (by adding some screws...); it helped, but on the end I bought something better.
To have a good shoulder rest, you need to pay the price and/or go through trial and errors. I tried several (from cheap Internet online company) and I got something cheap that fits my needs.
In any case be aware it depend much on the way you hold the violin vs. your physical characteristics. So I may not be completely correct in my appreciation.

Occasionally pops off the violin.
TheHamGrabber 22.11.2020
For a cheap shoulder rest it's not bad and definitely a step up from a cushion on an elastic band or one of them old fashioned upholstered metal ones whose rubber feet fall off all the time. Unfortunately the plastic is a bit too bendy for the design and the metal bolts that attach the feet too thin, so it pops off my violin occasionally. I've had worse, but next time will spend £5 or so extra in the hope of something better.

Fall off, again and again
Anonymous 12.04.2014
Bought this as I needed a Shoulder rest when I bought an electric violin and wanted to have one shoulder rest in each case.

However, this shoulder rest is not a shoulder rest I would recommend. It has two, for me, big flaws:

First: The feet are screwed straight into plastic and jiggle as soon as you touch them which keep it falling of the violin constantly. Every time I pick the violin from the hanger the shoulder rest falls off. Which for me is unacceptable due to the need of fast switching between instruments I end up having to play without shoulder rest (sometimes I haven't got the time to pick up and mount the shoulder rest again)

Second: Since the feet are screwed straight into the plastic there is no flexibility so it takes a lot more room in the violin case.

I ended up buying a Resonans shoulder rest from Thomann in next order and put this as a spare one.

Worth the price
Yamagami 18.12.2018
If you're on a low budget or simply looking for a cheap shoulder rest, this is a good option, I find it surprisingly confortable. On the other hand, if you're looking for something that will last, i would stay away from it, the feet are screwed straight into the plastic and even thought it hasn't happened yet, it doesn't feel very stable and within time it might start falling off the violin. I was't really expecting it to be better considering the price I've paid for it.

Decent
DinChin 06.02.2020
It doesn't have a real setting for adjusting it's height. The fit is somewhat loose and the mounting mechanism is barbaric at best. Two rubber hooks don't really hold on to the instrument that well so get ready for readjusting your rest every 15 minutes or so. Again, for the price it's decent, but I wouldn't recommend it for any professional use.

Good budget shoulder rest
Kalen 05.04.2020
Good value for the money. It's very comfortable and it fits my Harley Benton E-violin perfectly.

The pad isn't glued in SUPER well, but it doesn't make much of a difference when it's on your shoulder! Very glad I got this little shoulder rest.

very basic design
FélixMM 07.01.2020
I probably should have spent a bit more money on my violin shoulder rest... the design is very basic and it probably won't last long before it breaks...

Its ok
Kosma 20.11.2021
Bought it for a pupil.. it is a bit flimsy but is ok for a pupil to start with and then they can be selective for themselves.

Does the job
LooneyLoo 06.09.2019
I was after a cheap shoulder rest and stumbled upon this one and thought I'd try it out. I didn't expect it to be really good but I find it really comfortable and it feels quite sturdy. So far so good!
