The BonMusica violin shoulder rest is extremely versatile with adjustable height, width and curve for a precise fit and optimal comfort, making it one of our most popular shoulder rests.

  • Promotes hands-free stability for easy shifting and vibrato
  • Capable to obtain the exact contour of the player's shoulder
  • The foam padding is highly resistant to everyday wear and tear 
  • Ergonomically friendly by relieving tension through the neck and shoulders
  • Left-handed player friendly

For even more height, remove the leg screws, and rotate the bracket 180 degrees and re-insert the leg screw (as seen in last two photos). This will bring the clearance to an impressive 63mm, when measured from the bottom of the violin to the center of the chinrest.

To get the most of your rest, make sure the pads touch as much of your chest & shoulder as possible leaving no gaps

BonMusica

Experience exceptional comfort with the German-made BonMusica Shoulder Rest.

Designed and handcrafted in Germany, BonMusica has earned a worldwide reputation for producing one of the most customizable and ergonomic violin shoulder rests available. Unlike traditional shoulder rests, the BonMusica features a durable yet flexible spring steel frame that can be carefully bent and adjusted to match each player’s unique body shape and playing position.

Its signature curved shoulder hook gently wraps around the shoulder, providing exceptional stability while helping reduce tension and preventing the shoulder rest from slipping during performance. With adjustable height, tilt, shoulder position, and hook length, the BonMusica can be tailored to provide a truly personalized fit.

Quick Answers

Common questions about this product

The Bon Musica has earned a loyal following because of its exceptional adjustability and secure fit. Unlike most shoulder rests, it can be customized to match your shoulder shape, making it a favorite among players who struggle with comfort or stability.

Yes. While it is popular among advanced players and professionals, beginners can also benefit from its comfortable, adjustable design. It may take a little more time to fit initially, but once adjusted correctly, it can help promote a relaxed and natural playing posture.

If comfort has been a challenge with traditional shoulder rests, many violinists find the Bon Musica well worth the investment. Its highly adjustable design allows it to be customized to your body and playing position, providing a secure fit and reducing the need to grip the instrument with your shoulder.

Both the Bon Musica and SAS Shoulder Rest are excellent ergonomic options, but they suit slightly different needs.

For most violinists, we recommend the SAS Shoulder Rest. It’s adjustable, significantly lighter, and provides outstanding comfort while allowing the violin to move naturally. Many players find it offers the best balance of comfort, stability, and freedom of movement.

The Bon Musica remains an excellent choice for players who need the highest level of customization. Its metal frame can be bent to precisely match your shoulder, and its signature curved hook wraps around the shoulder for an especially secure fit. If you’ve struggled with shoulder rests slipping or have very specific ergonomic requirements, the Bon Musica may be the better option.

Since the Bon Musica is larger than most shoulder rests, not every violin case provides enough storage space. One of our top recommendations is the Fiddlerman FC310 Violin Case, which comfortably fits the Bon Musica without requiring you to significantly adjust the shoulder rest before storing it.

Yes. The Bon Musica shoulder rest can be used with both standard and left-handed violins. Its unique steel construction is designed to be highly adjustable, allowing it to be shaped to fit either playing orientation while providing the same secure, ergonomic support.

You may return your Bon Musica Shoulder Rest within 45 days of delivery for a refund, provided it is in its original packaging and condition with no signs of wear or customization. Because the shoulder rest is designed to be bent and shaped to fit each player, we cannot accept returns of shoulder rests that have been customized to a player’s preferred contour. If you’re unsure whether it’s the right choice, we recommend evaluating the fit before making permanent adjustments.
