The VIVA LA MUSICA A90G-D, also known as the VLM Augustin Diamond, is pretty well-suited for 4/4 violins and shines when it comes to adjustability. We found that it's quite flexible, which makes it a great pick for violinists with different preferences or specific physical needs.
One big plus is how you can adjust both the length and height, letting you customize the fit so it feels just right on your shoulder. It also offers 360-degree circular lateral adjustments, which gives even more options for finding the perfect spot that fits you and your violin.
People seem to really like how light it is and the way the ergonomic design makes playing comfortable. The end members are made of flexible metal, adding to its adaptability. The wooden and maple parts not only look nice but hold up well, which is always a bonus.
According to our data, most folks enjoy how it sits on the shoulder and note that it fits in most violin cases. If you’re on the move a lot, that’s a handy feature. But if you have a shorter neck, you might have to tinker a bit or even use other accessories to get the perfect fit.
Some have run into issues with the rubber feet occasionally slipping, but adjusting them usually helps stabilize things.
All in all, if you're looking for a shoulder rest that lets you tweak to your heart's content and doesn't weigh you down, the VIVA LA MUSICA A90G-D seems like a solid choice. Just be prepared to make minor adjustments if you've got specific needs.
