What is the purpose of the shoulder or the lack of rest for the violin?
I've played with and without rest the shoulder, and not hear or feel a difference. However, we often see professionals play without rest - is there a reason?
A shoulder rest for comfort. If you put his violin under his chin and you feel you can keep your violin in his chin loosely violin (just use your arm, ideally, take your violin), then does not need a shoulder rest. If you put on your shoulder is the violin and put it under a chin and feel as if you have to put less emphasis on the neck and chin, you need a shoulder rest. It is solely for the convenience. The human ear is not capable of detecting and correcting differences.
