Lightweight yet durable, it’s favored by professional violinists worldwide for stability and superior support. ## Description Bonmusica 4/4 Violin Shoulder Rest Review: The best there is. - The Bonmusica shoulder rest represents some very high level thinking, when it comes to properly positioning and placing the instrument. The rest is malleable and can be fitted to just about any physique, bending with little force, but strong enough to hold its shape during normal use. This rest works amazingly well, as its over the shoulder design triangulates the support points on the instrument in a manner unique to the Bonmusica. The instrument's weight is then evenly distributed between the collarbone, the chin rest, and just over the left shoulder. This makes the instrument infinitely easier to support, and frees up left hand movement exponentially. It automatically places the violin in an ideal playing position, so much so that you could hand your instrument to just about anyone and the rest would guide them to a correct, well supported position, with little to no adjusting. My complaints are few. First, the rest has a lot of adjustable parts and is prone to loose nuts and screws. I wouldn't recommend the rest for a small child, as I could easily envision them losing a critical component, making the rest useless at that point. Just make sure you tighten all the screws and nuts periodically. Also, the rest is meant to be flexible and adjustable, and will work best for you if you take the time to find the correct fitment. Do not expect a "rock solid" shoulder rest. Lastly, freedom of motion is limited. You will support the instrument easily, but you will also lose some ability to sway with the instrument, which could be a deal breaker if you move a great deal while playing. Overall, the Bonmusica has been the best rest I've owned, and I've owned them all. Once you use it, it sells itself to your colleagues, that's for sure. Review: Comfortable and solid. - Superb adjustability. After careful shaping this thing is rock solid stable. It hangs over the shoulder and rests on your clavicle/sternum. The combination of shoulder hook and chest friction prevents unwanted pivot assuring consistent bow angle and scroll height. I use a center chin rest and combined with the Bon Musica the whole thing feels very secure so tension is relieved and there is much less fatigue. Count on fiddling with it at each practice session for a couple of weeks to get it properly adjusted. Twist it, bop it and twang it until it feels like part of your torso. It is pretty much indestructible. Hilary Hahn performs with this on her bare shoulder, so draw your own conclusions. After adjusting mine a joint was perilously close to precious finish so I protected the threatening parts with gaffers tape around the joint. Minor drawbacks: You will have to re-tighten the thumb nuts occasionally, and it likely won't fit in your case. ## Features - Fits 4/4 Violin - Height and Width Adjustable - Padded Curved Adjustable Base For Precise Fit - Great For Players With Previous Injuries Or Arthritis - Made in Germany ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003P15MTK | | Back Material Type | Plastic-coated aluminum | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,045 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #33 in Violin Shoulder & Chin Rests | | Body Material Type | Plastic-coated aluminum | | Brand Name | Bon Musica | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (949) | | Finish Type | Metall | | Instrument | Violin | | Instrument Size | 31 | | Item Type Name | shoulder rest violin | | Item Weight | 0.31 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Bonmusica - Musikzubehör | | Manufacturer Part Number | 434700 | | Material Type | Plastic-coated aluminum, foam rubber, natural rubber, nylon | | Model Name | 434700 | | Model Number | 434700 | | Number of Strings | 4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | String Material Type | Nylon | | Top Material Type | Plastic-coated aluminum | | UPC | 123456848122 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | N.

I don't strain my neck muscles trying to hold the viol;in on my shoulder and more relaxed holding the violin with my left hand. **Q: Will it fit 3/4 size violin? And will 3/4 size shoulder rest fit 4/4 size violin?** A: Hi,4/4 bon musica will fit a 3/4 violin,but not the reverse,a 3/4 will not fit any 4/4 full size violin,always get the 4/4 even for a 3/4 violin,yes you can move the bonmusica in extremely comfortable. **Q: I require a lot of height on the chest side, the kun didn't have enough adjustment on the screw. What rests will work? I'm tall, long neck, thin chest** A: I have a very long neck and recently switched from Kun to Bon Musica. I love it. Highly recommend. Also, there is a lady on youtube, she has short hair and glasses, and she does a tutorial on how to adjust the bon musica to get just the right fit. **Q: How much space does this take up in a violin case? I have a fitted bam case and I'm worried it won't fit...** A: I have a 4/4 Core violin case and have to disassemble the Bonmusia each time it is placed in the case. It is pretty long. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best there is. *by S***Z on September 11, 2012* The Bonmusica shoulder rest represents some very high level thinking, when it comes to properly positioning and placing the instrument.

It is completely bendable metal and fully adjustable in so many ways to fit the exact contour of your body. And as I just recently found out, it can be run over by a truck, mangled, and still be bent (or rather hammered) back into shape! Amazing! After a long search, the Bon Musica has made my violin extremely comfortable and I no longer have any neck, shoulder, or back strain. This shoulder rest does take a good while to fit, however, because it is designed to be bent and twisted to fit the player exactly. That is why at first, it seems very unnatural, especially the part that hooks over the shoulder. But once fiddling with it enough, it forms a perfect fit! If you are looking for a low profile shoulder rest or are a smaller musician, the Bon Musica probably would not be best for you, as it can only be adjusted so low and also has some weight to it. You will also want to consider the space in your case, as this shoulder rest may not fit very well in small cases. This is how mine happened to drop in a parking lot and get run over. All in all, I love this shoulder rest and will be using it for a very long time! ## Frequently Bought Together - Bon Musica, 4-String Shoulder Rest Violin, Black, 31 (434700) - eBoot Rubber 4/4 Violin Practice Mute, Black - Thomastik-Infeld 135B Dominant Strings Set 4/4 with Steel E Ball - Corrosion Resistant Violin E String with Aluminum Wound Ball End - Flexible Violin Strings with Easy Modulation for a Rich Tone --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/25880662-bonmusica-4-4-violin-shoulder-rest](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/25880662-bonmusica-4-4-violin-shoulder-rest) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
