Wittner Isny Violin 4/4-3/4 & Viola

I wanted to try a shoulder rest after many years of playing without one.
The clamp fits nice (I added an extra layer of cork to prevent anything touching the back) and securely with a common screw chinrest (side mounted ones and centered ones).
I'd prefer the construction to be of some lightweight alloy but plastic does the job too.
The sound of my violin seems to be more open that with common shoulder rests (ex-Wolf user) and also it feels that it allows you to move the shoulder a bit better too.
Overall great buy, I'd suggest it any day to someone looking to try something different than a basic shoulder rest.

Update -2026
I have been using it on and off now and I have found that the stability is an issue. To get it stable you must lock it into a very specific orientation and position.
I liked the fact that you can move it around but it had the issue of touching the back of the instrument many times when trying to use it in a low height position (I don't like tall shoulder rests). I think my previous comment on its materials would be a solution, making it out of something more stable than plastic.
It's still a good concept but it definitely has a lot of room for improvement.
