EVEREST EZ-4A Violin Shoulder Rest 4/4 Size - Adjustable to 3/4 Size

Nice color, easily installed, good quality size and value.

I was impressed by this shoulder rest. I'm pretty tall (like usually the tallest person anywhere I go), and have a long neck, so I ended up finding a rest that allowed the violin to raise higher, and now I can comfortably balance the instrument between my chin and and my shoulder without using my hands, and without strain or discomfort. The one I bought is more than three times the cost, and is a challenge to fit in the violin case. So for the majority of the people, I think this shoulder rest would be a good choice, and it is highly adjustable and good quality.

This is the shoulder rest I recommend all of my students. In fact, this purchase was for a student who bought the wrong size twice...we love middle schoolers. It adjusts to fit 3/4 and 4/4 instruments and up to a 14-in viola, for those who aren't comfortable with sizing. I recommend this brand because it is easy, comfortable, and relatively sturdy. These don't fall off quite as much as the other brands mid-rehearsal. Would recommend!

Does the job and stays put. I like the fact that it is less "fussy" and more robust than other, more complex designs. This has been my "go-to" for many years. I play primarily Celtic, Old Time and Bluegrass. I end up playing outdoors a lot and various temperature and humidity conditions.

I was guided to this rest by my classically trained violin instructor from whom I'm learning Scottish fiddle. This Everest rest has a slightly greater curve which fits my body shape and also comes with attachment pads which grip the fiddle better than the other brands (I've tried most of them); because of the feet it can be placed at the rear of the fiddle and not fall off when placed on a stand; as a result I can lower the legs so that the fiddle and rest can snuggle into my neck/clavicle region. I'm very impressed, (I've been a fiddler (not a violinist) for nearly 30 years) and recently have been working to learn Scottish fiddle which for me requires developing my ability to work with notation and practice playing with more classically based posture and left hand/arm positions. This new rest has enabled a more relaxed posture and I'm able to practice with less stress in my jaw and neck. I also discovered new resonance from the fiddle which I really enjoy. I marked the sturdiness a 4 because it's too soon to know how it'll do over years of use.

One of the best shoulder rest my daughter uses for her violin. We had a full size earlier from a rental shop and it broke and hence got the same brand. Love the build and quality. Worth the price and finish. Highly recommend.
