Empire Viola Shoulder Rest
A Premium-Quality Shoulder Rest at a Bargain Price!
The new Empire Shoulder Rest is comfortable and supportive, with a traditional rigid base, topped with over 1/4" of high-grade foam. Easily adjustable, with rubberized non-marring feet - and it stays adjusted due to the indexed positioning system. Best of all, it stays on the instrument!
This model fits most violas 15" and larger. Other sizes are also available.

does not last
Comfortable, but not durable. Bought these for our school program. The feet are breaking and the screws come undone and get lost easily.
Comfy Shoulder Rest
I would pick this shoulder rest over a kun any day. Great price, extraordinarily comfy, and the biggest distinguishing factor between Empires and Kuns? Empires actually stay on the instrument. I am very happy with this shoulder rest- I have never once had it fall off my instrument while playing, and I've had this shoulder rest for around 2 years. That being said, one of the feet did recently break, but after several years of wear and tear I think that's a fair lifetime for the price. The foot has snapped but the rubber is still intact, so it's even still usable. This is the shoulder rest brand that I recommend for all my students.
