What are the advantages of NOT using a shoulder rest for violin?
Q. I heard that a shoulder rest absorbs your vibrato playing or something and it's better for you not to use it. But the advantages of not using one are much more worthy. I just wanna know if the advantage is true. If it is, I would like to know more please.

A. "How do you anchor the violin on your shoulder?" You don't. That's the advantage of not using a shoulder rest. You don't lock the fiddle in one position on the shoulder. The fiddle can move around a bit on the shoulder, but won't fall off. To help prevent too much slipping around on the shoulder, you can drape a suede pad on your shoulder and lay the fiddle on that. But you should be able to hold the fiddle up, no hands, without the suede. The suede just helps a bit. It sounds like you are looking for a shoulder rest of minimum height, about one inch or less. You might try a pad that makes contact with the back of the fiddle, such as Playonair or various foam pads. They won't be as high as the rigid shoulder rests are. If you're worried… [cont.]
