Great work you guys…. Rob

We hope you do. Sorry the BSR wasn’t there earlier, but we hope you get to enjoy it now!

When I tried the NS violin I couldn’t seem to set the shoulder rest just right so I didn’t have to hold it with my left hand. I ended up with a different electric that didn’t sound as good just because it could hold my Bon Musica.

This is a huge step forward in flexability for the NS line. I am considering buying an NS now just so I can use the Balanced Shoulder Rest, which doesn’t fit most other electrics.

Hi Helen,

I’m sorry it took a while to reply to you—and sorry about your shoulder problems. Are you an acoustic player? I suspect you are since you said you’re using a Bonmusica. The custom shoulder rest only fits NS Electric Violins (it clamps in using a special attchment—just like the standard shoulder rest).

If you’re looking for a different approach to holding your violin, I’d strongly recommend the Balanced Shoulder Rest—it’s on our website here: http://thinkns.com/instruments/bsr.php . It fits both acoustic and the NS Electric Violins. (I use one on my acoustic and it’s amazing—feels like the instrument isn’t even there!)

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Alden

How does the shoulder rest attach to the violin? – it’s not very clear from the picture. I have a very long neck and am currently using the bonmusica adjustable rest, but I still experience a lot of pain down my neck and back. Help!

Thank you
Helen
