Customer reviews for Wolf Forte Primo 3/4 - 4/4 Violin Shoulder Rest
I've been playing violin with this shoulder rest for more than 12 years. Being 6'5" and slender, this was the only shoulder rest I could find that was tall enough to reach from my bony shoulder to place the chin rest at my jaw. This works by unscrewing the foot from the larger screw (the one visible in the pictures) and inserting a spacer (provided). After 7 or 8 years I had to replace 2 of the rubber feet (I used rubber hose that can be purchased by the foot for very cheap at the local hardware store). Other than that the rest has held up great to all of its use. As mentioned in other reviews, it takes up some space in the case (especially with how high I have it), but it has never been problematic for me.
I would recommend this shoulder rest to anyone looking for something solid.
Wolf Forte Primo 3/4 - 4/4 Violin Shoulder Rest Review by S. Swickard
For any of you with an aspiring musician in the house, I highly recommend springing for one of these shoulder rests instead of a Kun. Originally I had a Kun shoulder rest. After months of drooling over my teacher's wolf rest, I finally got my own. I love it and have never had an issue with it. The fit on the violin is perfect. Once I got it adjusted, I haven't had to fiddle with it since. Just slip it on and play. I love the width of the pad, it doesn't dig into my shoulder like the Kun would. Overall it's very comfortable. Being an on again off again player, I can't speak for it's durability and longevity, but five years later it there's no issues with it. The ONLY problem I can see with this product is storage. There's ample open space in my violin case around the neck, so I simply tuck it in underneath in that nook before placing the violin in on top. A slimmer, smaller case might be more of a challenge. But aside from that, I have absolutely, positively no complaint with this shoulder rest, and no need or desire to try any other. We get along perfectly!
Wolf Forte Primo 3/4 - 4/4 Violin Shoulder Rest Review by neddy's notes
First off, let me say that I am trying to get back into the violin after a long absence, so I do not have a lot of experience with shoulder rests.
I have tried all manner of positions for this shoulder rest and it simply has not worked for me. I realized after purchasing this shoulder rest that I might have been better served with the Wolf Forte Secundo, which looks like it has more positioning possibilities. Or, with a simple foam rest, which is much cheaper.
The pad is not as soft as it looks in the picture. The plate is not quite as malleable as I had hoped. The clasping feet tend to fall off of the violin when I try more extreme positions.
I think the product is over-priced. Don't get me wrong - it is decent and has held up under my manipulations. But at $29 I thought it would be softer, sturdier, and more malleable.
