"Practicing my violin without a chinrest was actually preventing me from enjoying it, so when I looked for a chinpad, I wanted something cushioned enough, yet not slippery; one that wouldn't make your skin all sweaty, yet didn't look out of place. Then someone recommended cleaning the chinrest with rubbing alcohol very well before applying the pad."
"Perhaps the gel pad would work better on a chin rest the same size; my chin rest is much smaller than the gel pad."
"The adhesive wears down in about 2 months.But still usable and quite comfortable."
"I have to accept it was my responsibility that I ordered it and expected it would fit perfectly to my left violin."
"I really enjoyed the confort it provides and it sticks well on the chinrest (despite being a little smaller than my chinrest)."

"Tall with sloping shoulders and short neck but this is so adjustable, it is great for me."
"My teacher also suggested adding a piece of foam where the rest meets my collar bone if I am playing for any long periods of time."
"Straight out of the box just with some minor adjustments it already felt like it was holding evrything much more comfortable and secure leaving me free to play more relaxed why I can go and play tennis with a violin shooting out from my neck that comfortable anyway the rest and it's mechanisms can be intimidating so it will take a little time to get it adjusted perfectly do take your time."
"I love using this!"

"This is a very good quality shoulder rest and also very comfortable, however it doesn't fit in my case, causing me to have to carry it around."
