Christino Professional Violin Shoulder Rest, 4/4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am sad to report that I was told that Christino no longer makes shoulder rests with collapsable legs due to a patent infringement issue. It is hard to believe that a hinged leg can be patentable -- multiple other brands have folding legs. You can see the original design at the moment in the photos on this listing. I already have two with the foldable legs as pictured. When I made a new order here, I was shipped one with the replacement design, which has non-folding legs with two screw holes to mount them with two choices for angles. One choice tilts the pad forward, one tilts it back. Neither of the angles fits me right, like the old design does. It's a real shame, because of all they were the most comfortable of the 3 kinds I've tried - a Bon Musica, and a Chinese Kun copy. By comfort, I mean, not just the immediate feeling, but I get no neck cramps after hours of use.
The new design means they won't fit in the large pocket of my violin case without unscrewing and removing the legs, a real hassle and invitation to lose parts.
The foam on my 2-year old Christino shoulder rest is getting a bit worn, so I may keep the new item for the parts, which I can attach onto the old folding legs.

The Christino Professional Violin Shoulder Rest is comfortable, durable, and customizable for your unique needs. The sliding adjusters allow you to set the shoulder rest at the perfect width for your instrument, and the screw-on legs make for easy height adjustment. In addition, there are two possible positions for the legs on each end of the shoulder rest, which results in different tilt angles depending on the positions chosen. The rubber on the legs will firmly grip the instrument so that the shoulder rest will stay in place while you play, while at the same time allowing effortless attachment and removal without scratching your instrument. The contoured body is solidly constructed for stability and durability, and the generous foam padding ensures lasting comfort for hours of playing.
