How do I choose a shoulder rest? Shoulder rests are individual preferences that allow a violin or viola to be held comfortably at an appropriate height and angle. There are a wide variety of shoulder rests available for instrumentalists. With the help of your teacher and experimenting with several types, an appropriate shoulder rest can be found.
Keep in mind, a chin rest is also part of the equation and should be evaluated along with the shoulder rest. Also note that our bodies change over the years and our setup may change over time. Shoulder rests may need protective rubber feet replaced.
Please see my friend Alexandra Ostroff for more details.
