Ratings & Reviews
I cannot rely on this shoulder rest to stay on my violin
I bought this shoulder rest based on the review that was already here and based on the reviews of the type of Kun shoulder rest I used to use. According to the reviews of the Kun, the new feet are not as secure as the old rubber feet and it tends to fall off the violin. This is also the case for the Viva. It is always falling off my violin. I tried putting the feet from my Kun on the Viva, but the screws were different sizes. I e-mailed Shar to register a complaint and to ask what type of glue they would recommend to glue the foam back on my Kun, but they suggested I get a cheaper Kun shoulder rest. This was not useful. And, after much adjusting, the Viva shoulder rest *still* falls off.
Great product!
I tried several shoulder rest in my life ( I'm 70!) I tried Kun, Kun Bravo, Wolf , Everest, etc...and this shoulder rest is the first one that I feel that is very comfortable.
