Customer Reviews

The BEST shoulder rest I'd ever had
This is the best! For almost the price of a Kun, not only its height can be adjusted to the highest possible among the various brands (up to 3 inches!), the padded-metal bar can be BENT to fit the contours of your shoulder! I spent an hour bending and trying out various heights and angles, and the result is an amazing fit! (I will still continue to explore to see if I can improve the shape further.) Storage in the violin case, however, may be a problem if you wish to preserve the shape as the legs still occupy considerable space even after being collapsed. Nonetheless, because it fits perfectly to your shoulder after the adjustments, this shoulder rest is very very comfortable and stable, and it's a customised shoulder rest that is truly yours and yours only!

An excellent product, solidly made
I am a former professional violinist, and I still play a lot. I have used Wolf Forte Primo shoulder rests exclusively for over twenty-five years. They are extremely comfortable, highly adjustable to pretty much any physique, stay reliably on the instrument, are very well made, and fold up small for storage in the violin case. They are used by thousands upon thousands of professional violinists every day. I have never heard a complaint about their quality, and I can only assume that the negative review below is based either because the person got a lemon (very rare - I've never seen one), or somehow put it together wrong (I can't imagine how, though - it's very easy). I personally find the Wolf Forte Primo superior to the competition in all aspects. The only drawback used to be that on the old models the rubber that comes into contact with the violin was black and over time would leave black "skid marks" on the violin. But Wolf corrected this problem years ago by switching to a different material that (a) isn't black (as you can see on the pictures) and (b) does not rub off.

From Bluegrass to Classical
My daughter and I both use the Wolf Forte Primo shoulder rest and we love them for many reasons. From being comfortable to staying in place they meet our needs perfectly.
There is somewhat of a wrestling match to get them fitted to your shoulder but if your patience matches your pickiness then you can get through it.
My daughter plays classical and I play bluegrass but the Wolf shoulder rest don't care. It works equally well for both of us.
