This shoulder rest looked kind of flimsy at first, but it's actually quite sturdy. It's a lot thinner than my old rest, so I was surprised and pleased that this rest is sturdy and comfortable.

It fits securely on my instrument, which is requirement #1, and it's comfortable for me, which is requirement #2. And it actually looks pretty nice, which I wasn't expecting.

I have tried many shoulder rests because of a short neck, prominent collar bone, and other issues which make it difficult for me to be comfortable while practicing. I had tried rests similar in shape to the Fiddlerman Carbon Fiber Shoulder Rest, but they slid easily off my shoulder. I decided to try the Fiddlerman rest because of the sponge padding, and I'm glad I did, because it really made a difference in comfort. Also, I can adjust it low enough for my short neck and use a low chin rest. This rest is very attractive and looks well made. I find that the feet are easy to adjust to the bouts, and they stay put. Everyone has their own unique anatomy to work with, but after many trials, I find that with this shoulder rest I can practice longer without even thinking about slippage and discomfort.

This thing looks really nice. It's not expensive, but I'm not a pro musician. It fits my should very nicely. I'll use it a while and see how it holds up, and revisit this review with my experiences with it.
