We made the mistake of purchasing a cheap copycat product - thinking we could save a few dollars but won’t make that mistake again! Our #1 choice is Bonmusica!
*Intermediate violinist with 10+ years experience.
Fortunately, it is taller and gets the job done nicely without my having to bend my head down. Another benefit to this shoulder rest is that it doesn't slip off my violin like my Kun does. Seems like the should rest would only pop off during really passionate movement where I would be abruptly shocked when the shoulder rest would slip off. This Bonmuisca rest hasn't slipped off a single time in the 2 months I've had it. Very impressive in this regard.
The shoulder rest has much more flexibility than the three other shoulder rests I've tried. However, the part that can be bent over the shoulder to grip it is kind of thin and in time that portion will lose the curve as you naturally move the violin around while playing. This isn't a deal buster, it doesn't change much, but if I were to point to a design flaw, it would be this, which hasn't really impacted the goals of the shoulder rest. It still works fine.
The only other gripe I have is, again, not a big deal, but the foam padding on this shoulder rest isn't as thick or comfortable as my Kun, but that doesn't matter because the shoulder rest is otherwise comfortable with this shoulder rest.
If there were one negative point, like if I really had to work to say something not positive it would be that this thing is so customizable that it definitely takes some time and trial and error to get it setup optimally however once you do its well worth the time spent!
5 stars only because more are not available!
So I sent it back. They charged me for postage, which is fine, because it isn't a defective product. It just isn't working for me. For anyone concerned about the grippers, they are very grippy. Once I was able to get it on the violin, it didn't move or fall off. But the way the grippers are designed, the force is on the side of the violin, not the edge. Most shoulder rests I've seen fit over the edge. This one goes around the edge and presses on the sides.
