with all else being about equal, some nice looking wood trumps cheap looking plastic for a little more..

I love the look and feel of this rest and wish it worked better, but I'm going to try a Kun next.

If you are looking for a good shoulder rest for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a violinist or fiddler you know, this one is definitely worth checking out.

The wood gives it a distinctive look

This is a very nice looking shoulder rest, but it's not long enough (for me)

It is sturdy and very nice looking for the price.

It was easily adjusted and quite comfortable along with a slick look that I personally have never seen before.

Classy looking and fits my 4/4 violin perfectly

I actually love the look and feel of it!

This shoulder rest is adjustable to fit different types of people and is nice looking too.

Good looking and a strong shoulder rest.

The height adjustments are great and the look of the wood goes great with my violin

I love the look of it, but the shaped isn't right for me

Very comfortable and nice looking.

This is a nice looking shoulder rest, you can tell that from the pics

Best shape, size, portability and nice looking, too

I also like the looks of it, the wood is stained a nice brown

This shoulder rest is great, no cheap plastic look

Great look & holds in place well

It is soft on the shoulder and it is nice looking too.
