1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap construction, June 19, 2005

This review is from: Basic Beat Collapsible Violin Shoulder Rest; Fits 4/4 or 3/4 Size

This is a cheaply constructed chinrest. A good chinrest for beginners and advanced players alike are the Kun rests....for a few dollars more they will last for years, not just a few weeks.

This review is from: Basic Beat Collapsible Violin Shoulder Rest; Fits 4/4 or 3/4 Size

For the price, this product is pretty good. Yes, it is rather cheaply constructed, but if you're a beginner or even a pro looking for a cheap shoulder rest, this is a good choice. I can't find another on the internet that is this cheap. However, be warned: it is a bit flimsy, the adjustment nuts for width are plastic and can easily be stripped if you're not careful. I almost did that when I first got it. If you are looking for a product that will be durable and last a long time, consider another rest. But if you are just getting started, this is an excellent choice. Why spend tons of money outfitting a beginner if you're not sure he/she will stick with it?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginner Rest and Very Affordable, February 3, 2007

I respect Chuck's feelings about this shoulder rest but we've had nothing but good reviews for this product. The Kun shoulder rest is a good rest but at a much higher price than the Basic Beat rest, not a couple of dollars. We want to provide an affordable option for beginning violin players and I don't think I've seen any of our rests wear out after a couple of weeks. You could even buy four Basic Beat shoulder rests for the cost of one Kun rest.
