Testimonial about the Loft Sponge Shoulder Rest:
"I have now been using The Loft Violin Shoulder Rest for two years now and must comment on how much I am enjoying the comfortable fit of my violin.
I have tried every system imaginable up to this point and this inexpensive and simple system is by far the most secure and the least fussy.
The sponge moulds to my shoulder and stays put allowing ample support and freedom of movement at the same time."
