"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."

"its hard for my son to secure this on his violin(he is 6) but when his teacher does it, it fits fine and works well.....i should have looked into the collapsable feet one because putting this in the case is a bit awkward...overall its good quality...just tough for a little player...."
