It turns out that shoulder rests really do have a function. Remember when I told you about the left hand paranoia? Having the proper support between your shoulder and your jaw bone really does help significantly reduce left hand paranoia, at least about dropping the violin.
For a while, I was trying to make due with the traditional kitchen sponge, but I finally caved to aforementioned left hand paranoia (keep in mind that the frog hand dominates this blog) and purchased a shoulder rest. Or, I should say, I went to Amazon and picked an awesome shoulder rest, which I purchased with my Swagbucks giftcards. Yes! Surfing the web is finally paying off; it's making me a better violin player. ;)
