Cheap and cheerful, best for violins.
Pros: For a violin it's nice (see cons re viola). Cheap and cheerful. High coefficient of friction between rubber and clothing.
Cons: 1. The rubber is stuck on with too little glue (this is my second, for my viola). 2. One rest for all-size instruments is pushing it too far. The rest has a curve that goes over your shoulder and, like the Bon Musica, should go quite a way back over your shoulder, but for the Artino to fit on my 15 1/2" viola (what matters is the width of the lower bout, rather than the length) requires both legs to be extended to max, which will place the shoulder-curve too far forward for some.
Grade 8+
Nice, but barely glued together.
Pros: A nice comfortable shoulder rest, both for violin and viola. Rubber, violin-friendly feet. High coefficient of friction between rubber and clothing.
Cons: Not enough glue - the rubber quickly comes away from the backing. You'll have to get yourself a tube of Bostick in addition.
