Libero, after a brief initial success, closed its doors due to lack of interest, I believe Stovemaster had the same fate (but I'm not sure). We'll see how long this "new" technological (?) shoulder rest lasts. Given the scandalous price and the complexity of adjustment that requires keys and screws to always carry with you, I predict that it will not be produced for very long.

I tell ya,the Mcgyver part of me thinks I could make one out of some tinfoil, toothpicks and chewing gum, but really, I do think some people with neck strain issues like them, I should say say, some rich people with neck strain like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Roop Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 ok... so maybe this is better solution ... for the "concertmaster" https://www.tomleemusic.ca/acoustagrip-concert-master-violin-shoulder-rest-215015 much easier on the pocketbook..but then what you pay is what you get! ... and for $10 more you can get: https://www.tomleemusic.ca/kun-collapsible-44-violin-shoulder-rest-25676 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germain Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 It is great. Super light and if you use a shoulder rest this is the way to go. It doesn't seem to stifle or mute any of the resonance of the instrument as most other shoulder rests do. I purchased mine many years ago when it was first introduced. It is almost double price now. Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
